That book transformed me from a horribly slow flatlander taking breaks every 100' to a decent hiker making good time and going hours without stopping.
Incorporate actual hiking into the training (which they encourage) and it'll pay big dividends. But note also that their training program is more geared toward big mountain expeditions, so you can lighten it up a tad for the 14ers.
