Synopsis

"Marathon Training Basics" offers a comprehensive guide for runners aiming to conquer the 26.2-mile challenge. It emphasizes a holistic, science-backed approach that goes beyond simply increasing mileage, focusing on the three key pillars of successful marathon training: endurance building, nutrition, and recovery. The book bridges the gap between traditional training methods and contemporary sports science, presenting evidence-based strategies in an accessible manner. For example, understanding concepts like VO2 max and lactate threshold is crucial for optimizing training intensity and preventing overtraining.

The book progresses logically, starting with the fundamentals of endurance training and delving into practical aspects like structured training plans, interval workouts, and tempo runs. It then dissects the role of nutrition, covering macronutrient needs, hydration, and nutrient timing. Finally, it explores recovery strategies, including sleep optimization and injury prevention. By integrating these elements, runners can minimize injury risk and maximize performance. The book emphasizes how deficiencies in one area, such as neglecting proper hydration, can undermine progress in other areas, such as endurance.

What sets "Marathon Training Basics" apart is its balanced and evidence-based perspective. Rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all approach, it empowers readers to tailor training plans to their individual needs. It incorporates real-world examples and analyzes training data to illustrate the impact of different strategies. This makes it particularly valuable for runners seeking a deeper understanding of the science behind training and those who want to optimize their performance through evidence-based strategies in sports, health & fitness.

Shifting Gears

Adam Hill

It was never part of Adam Hill's life ambition or his genetic constitution to wear a Speedo in public, let alone compete in a triathlon. For the first three decades of life, he was the poster child for non-athleticism, obsessively unhealthy habits, and an intense fear of...well...everything.Yet at the age of thirty-three, with a physique that could only be described as "Sasquatch with a Dad Bod," he put aside his insecurities and took his first step toward an outrageous dream: to qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. It was a dream shared by nearly every other triathlete in the world, reserved for the top 1 percent of all athletes in the sport—a sport in which Adam had exactly zero experience.In Shifting Gears, Adam shares his harrowing, inspiring, and sometimes-clumsy story of transformation, from the origins of a debilitating anxiety disorder to his battle with alcoholism to his rise to the top of the triathlon world stage.

The Barber Astronaut and The...

Barbara Radnofsky, Ed Supkis

In 1971, famed astronaut Alan Shepard returned from the moon and went to get a haircut. Before settling into the barber’s chair in Webster, Texas, near NASA’s Mission Control, Shepard gave his longtime barber and friend, Carlos Villagomez, an autographed golf ball. 
During his Apollo 14 moonwalk, Shepard had conducted a world-famous demonstration of gravity by hitting a golf ball in an out-of-this-world sand trap. It took him two tries. 
Carlos, a Navy combat veteran and barber for numerous astronauts, says Shepard gave him the ball immediately after he returned to earth and was released from quarantine. 
 ●     Had Shepard taken a third ball to the moon? 
●     Did he give it to his barber as a token of their long friendship? 
●     Is the ball one of the most significant pieces of sports memorabilia in history, or simply a gift of enduring friendship? 
●     Did the barber’s golf ball fly to the moon? 
The debate provides a backdrop for The Barber, The Astronaut, and the Golf Ball, a story of two extraordinary men and their lasting friendship. The book is based on recollections of Carlos himself, the authors—both children of NASA scientists—as well as other astronauts, memorabilia experts, and family and friends of Shepard, who died in 1998.
