Book description

Road to the Top is a comprehensive guide to distance running training, published in 1995, that outlines Vigil's philosophy of year-round training with a focus on speed, even in the off-season, to build a strong aerobic base and improve race performance. The book details his systematic, periodized approach, emphasizing training all major body systems throughout the year with varying intensity and volume, and includes specific examples like progression runs and long tempo runs.
