Description
A foundational guide to endurance training, this book translates exercise physiology and coaching experience into a practical system for runners seeking to improve performance at every level. It explains how the body responds to stress, why training must be specific and progressive, and how to balance intensity, recovery, mileage, and individual limitations across a season. Using performance benchmarks, training zones, pace guidelines, and detailed plans, it helps athletes design workouts for distances ranging from shorter races to the marathon and beyond. Rigorous, data-driven, and highly influential, the approach offers both a scientific framework and a disciplined roadmap for smarter, more effective training.
