Curt Sheller's Race Walking World - Books
My personal racewalking pages. Having discovered the Olympic sport of walking around 1985, I've been hooked ever since (on and off).
Contents
- Listing of known books on the subject of race walking.
- Links and information to Wendy Bumgardner's walking.mining.com site.
I have a few of these book and while many are out of print or have limited availability a search of amazon.com might produce some results. Best bet is to contact the author.

100 photos/drawings 7 x 9 Illustrated guide to technique, exercise, and training Race-walking competition and judging Ron Laird, one of the most decorated race walkers in history, provides a guide to mastering this highly efficient, low-impact exercise. A strong race walker can outpace an average runner, and do so with much less stress on the legs and knees. Clear text and easy-to-read, step-by-step illustrations and photos show every nuance of the hip, leg, arm, foot, and torso movements that must be coordinated to achieve correct form. Ron Laird is a four-time Olympic race walker who has won 65 U.S. championship races. He was the first race walker inducted into the U.S. Track & Field Hall of Fame. Ron was the first racewalker inducted in to the USATF Hall of Fame. Other walkers in the Hall of Fame are Henry Laskau and Larry Young |

Thanks for visiting and checking out my site!
Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt
P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!
You can also make a donation to the lesson-site fund. Button in the sidebar of the site.
If I'm not teaching, I'm working on this site and new lessons, books and goodies.
