Summary

Speed Training Fundamentals offers a deep dive into the science of speed, focusing on enhancing sprinting speed, agility, and reaction time for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It emphasizes that improving speed involves more than just running faster; understanding biomechanics and neuromuscular adaptation is crucial. For example, optimizing stride length and frequency can significantly impact performance. The book details various training methodologies, including plyometrics and resisted sprinting, explaining how these methods stimulate specific adaptations in the body.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the fundamentals of biomechanics and neuromuscular physiology. It then delves into specific training methods like agility drills and sprint-specific strength training. A key aspect is the integration of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and even sports psychology to provide a holistic approach. This comprehensive perspective helps readers understand not only what to do but also why, offering a unique value compared to exercise-only guides.

 
The book also stresses the importance of personalized training programs and monitoring progress, providing readers with practical tools for implementation. By blending scientific principles with real-world examples, Speed Training Fundamentals aims to empower readers with the knowledge to unlock their full athletic potential.

Written by philosopher, essayist, and lifelong climber Francis Sanzaro, The Zen of Climbing explores the fundamentals of successful climbing, delving into sports psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and Taoism.

    'Glorious.' BILL BRYSONArmed with a pick-axe, clad in tweeds and hobnailed leather shoes, Edward Whymper was the first to climb the Matterhorn in 1865. It created a scandal, as four of his party fell to their deaths. These vivid memoirs spelled the birth of mountaineering, capturing the excitement, triumph and tragedy that would hover over the new sport. Causing over 500 deaths since, the Matterhorn has remained both a treacherous and irresistible sports adventure. Whymper was also a photography pioneer and his forgotten climbing photographs are published for the first time'[A] fresh and exciting read.'

    Reloaded – The Good The Bad &...

    THE HIGHS. THE HEARTBREAKS. THE HANGOVERS.  
THE PERSONAL. THE VULNERABLE. THE DOWNRIGHT ABSURD.  
IT'S TIME TO RELOAD.  
The rugby boys are back – and this time, it’s personal. Alex, Mike, and Hask return with their second book, ready to tackle everything from rugby highs and lows, to the absurdities of everyday life. 
As was widely predicted, our first book, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby – Unleashed, did not win a Pulitzer Prize. It did, however, scoop Sports Entertainment Book of the Year at the 2025 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards (and sold quite a lot of copies), so here we are again, back for a sequel. 
What more have we to say? It’s a fair question. Hask can mine more new material from a trip to the supermarket than most people can from an entire lifetime – and you won’t be surprised to learn that he hasn’t just been hanging around Asda since our last book came out. He recently turned 40, he’s been through much personal turmoil, he’s done an awful lot of DJing – and he’s had a lot of arguments. Expect much of that, and even some thoughts on rugby, in the following pages. 
As for Tins, you’ll find out about his early days in rugby, how he had to fight to make it, what he thinks of the state of the game, and his plans to get it back on track. Meanwhile, Alex will tell you all about his career in broadcasting, from making (‘disgusting’) tea and coffee, and presenting some of the greatest rugby matches in history, to getting binned by Sky. 
We should end by begging you to pardon our previous flippancy. It was, of course, lovely to win that award, as well as very surprising. In fact, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby will never stop surprising us, and its continuing success is largely down to you – our wonderful listeners, viewers and now readers. We do hope you enjoy what follows and that you keep coming back for more. 
Winners of the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2025 Sports Entertainment Book of the Year, for their previous book The Good, The Bad and The Rugby – Unleashed. 
In this non-fiction sequel, Haskell continues to share his humorous memoirs, diving deeper into his personal turmoil and his journey into the world of DJing. His candid revelations, coupled with Tins insights into the state of rugby and Alex's broadcasting career, make this an up-coming bestseller. 
For fans of Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Christopher Andersen (Jackie After Jack), Robert Jobson (Guarding Diana), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), and Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer).
