Sinopsis

"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.

Fuel for Thought - A practical...

Renee McGregor

Food should be really simple. It is the means by which we nourish our bodies, providing them with the nutrients and fuel we need in order to live, exercise and socialise. Yet, in recent years, food and nutrition have become more complicated, confusing and polarising than ever before.
Fuel for Thought by leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor is a practical and trustworthy guide to sports nutrition, whether you're a world-class or real-world athlete, or just someone who wants to improve their relationship with food. Cutting through the jargon and misinformation, Renee draws on over twenty years' experience of working with sportspeople from a range of disciplines and backgrounds to provide straightforward, accessible advice about how you can fuel your adventures.
The follow-up to More Fuel You, in this book Renee looks at sports nutrition through the lens of her own sporting passion – running. She urges caution over the explosion of social media nutrition and fitness experts, apps and programmes that all claim to offer bespoke dietary advice. Instead, she offers practical information based on her own personal and professional experiences, including an A–Z of foods and a section dedicated to her own tried-and-tested, budget-friendly recipe ideas which use simple, everyday ingredients. There is also guidance on how to recognise and get help with dysfunctional behaviours, from REDs to exercise dependency, and how to be informed about your hormonal health when you go in search of appropriate support.

Mike Mentzer - American Odysseus

John Little

REBEL. PHILOSOPHER. BODYBUILDING ICON.
		 
Mike Mentzer was a strikingly handsome man with a brilliant mind and a “perfect” physique — the first bodybuilder to receive a perfect score in both amateur and professional competitions. In the late ’70s, Mentzer rose to the very top of his sport (despite the efforts made by industry power brokers, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger), was featured in GQ magazine, and profiled on national television. But he was also a man who wrestled with mental illness his entire life and ended up living on the streets and being sent to prison. Just when it seemed his career was over, he found it within himself to reboot his intellect and revolutionize bodybuilding training, arguing bodybuilders should not forsake their mental development in favor of developing their bodies. He became a pariah in the fitness industry (which only cared about selling supplements and other products) but a hero to legions of fans who earnestly sought truth.
		 
Mike Mentzer: American Odysseus is the first biography of Mike Mentzer to appear in North America written by his close friend of 21 years, John Little, “one of the leading fitness researchers in North America” (Iron Man magazine). Drawing upon audio recordings, letters, diary excerpts, as well as interviews with those closest to him, this is the true story of one man who stood up to an entire industry — and paid the ultimate price.
