RACE WALK LIKE A CHAMPION (the DVDs)
The Race Walk Like a Champion DVD set is like a coach in a box. Spanning two DVDs, the set brings the descriptions from the book to life while explaining all aspects of race walking in DVD quality video. However, the benefits of the DVD format do not end there; the interactivity makes it a coach in a box. Its friendly menus allow you to watch exactly the section you wish, over and over, with no rewinding! Have a technique problem? Just drill down through the interactive menus and your ever-present coach is there to assist.
Here's what each volume has to offer:
VOLUME I - TRAINING SCHEDULES
A day-by-day schedule will be presented. These schedules exist for the 5K, 10K, 20K, marathon, and 50K. In all but the marathon, there are three phases to each training schedules. For all schedules you never have to guess what comes next. It's all laid out for you in a clear and consise manner. This section was so large, that our DVD authoring software couldn't handle it. Therefore, the schedules are broken up between the two DVDs. The 20K Marathon, and 50K are on Volume I, while the 5K and 10K schedules are on Volume II. Below you can see a sample of a 1:30:00 training schedule as well as the menus for the other race distances and for what race times we prepared schedules. Thankfully, this section is completely done. It's what was holding up the production of the DVD, but now we are ready to rock and finisht the rest.

This section of the DVD is by far the most unique. Taking advantage of the interactivity of the DVD, it provides you with the ability to select a race distance and then a goal race time. 
As you can see, just one schedule is huge. Imagine how long it took to create the rest of the schedules shown below!

Dave McGovern - National Team Member, Dave’s World Class Race Walking
This book, with its two companion DVDs, is a splendid and important contribution to the sport of race walking. Focusing on the competitive walker, Race Walk Like a Champion should--must--be read by walkers of all ages and abilities who are serious about competing. With clearly written and illustrated explanations including color coded graphs and training schedules, this book and its videos provide a complete, one-stop resource of reliable, expert information.
Elaine Ward - President, North American Race Walking Foundation
Race Walk Like a Champion has an excellent overall presentation with its written explanations of each technique component enhanced by the great photographic examples. I am certain the combination of the book and DVD will provide the novice or beginning race walker the tools necessary to master the technique.
Of the many race walking books and videos I have reviewed during my career, this is hands down the best and most thorough presentation of race walking technique offered. I will recommend the book as the definitive guide to athletes who consult me for advice on race walking technique.
Curt Clausen - Three-time Olympian & National Record Holder
Race Walk Like a Champion’s training chapter is amongst the best I have ever read. Coach Salvage did a great job addressing each component in a way that can be easily understood.
