“For a long time, I have felt a list of practical suggestions that should be provided would be valuable to runners. Paul Greer's experiences as an elite runner and a coach to varied levels of talent qualifies him as the perfect person to write this book. Going the Distance is full of concise, plainly stated information that is essential for distance runners to reach their full potential. I will keep a copy handy to refer to time and time again"

"Going the Distance is full of useful information for runners at all levels. I would highly recommend Coach Paul Greer's book to prepare for a half or full marathon. His knowledge from his decade’s long work with the San Diego Track Club is shared so others can learn from what Coach Paul Greer has discovered. This book is full of small tips that can provide huge rewards if you apply them to your routine. So, don’t wait any longer and buy my friend's new book, “Going the Distance.”

"Paul Greer came from elite runner to training people at all levels - from beginners anxious to run their first half-marathon to more seasoned competitors. Not only is Paul a knowledgeable coach, he is also a tremendous motivator! This book will get you off the couch and train for your new personal best!"

“Coach Paul Greer led the team of supporters who had the vision to commemorate the 50th anniversary of my first sub-4-minute mile on June 5, 2014. Not only have Paul and his wife Callie become dear friends, but Paul is also a leader who lives what he teaches/coaches. (His love for the Lord affects everyone he comes in contact with encouraging warmth and enthusiasm.)
“Going the Distance” is a fantastically informative book filled with over 250 fitness/running tips that will help you reach your fullest potential. This book is for everyone who desires to maintain (or start) a good mental and physical health plan for their lives.”
