Description
Blending exercise physiology, neuroscience, and practical coaching, this guide explores the science behind running performance and the factors that ultimately limit an athlete’s potential. Readers are taken inside the body to examine energy production, fatigue, lactate, VO₂ max, muscular function, biomechanics, and the brain’s role in regulating effort. The book then translates these findings into actionable training principles, including how to structure a season, manage intensity, and apply scientific insights to real-world performance goals. Written for athletes and coaches alike, it offers a rigorous yet accessible framework for understanding how training works and becoming a more effective runner.
