  Strength Training for Runners -...

  Strength training has long been overlooked by runners who often focus solely on logging miles and improving endurance. However, integrating strength training into a runner’s routine is essential for enhancing performance, building resilience, and reducing the risk of injuries. This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of strength training specifically tailored for runners, highlighting why it is a vital component of a well-rounded training program. 
  Runners rely on efficient biomechanics, which depend heavily on strong, balanced muscles. Strength training targets key muscle groups, such as the core, glutes, hamstrings, and calves, which play pivotal roles in running form and power generation. Strengthening these areas not only improves running efficiency but also helps to correct imbalances that may lead to overuse injuries. 
  In addition to preventing injuries, strength training can significantly boost a runner's speed and endurance. Building stronger muscles allows for greater force production, which translates to a more powerful stride. Moreover, improved muscular endurance means that a runner can maintain optimal form and energy output over longer distances, delaying the onset of fatigue.

  For all those who love boats, their 'lines' are an essential element in the appreciation of individual craft. But what are these lines and how are they created? This book introduces the reader to the key principles of yacht design in a straightforward and understandable manner, allowing them to be aware of the elements and processes involved. Most of the complex maths has been replaced with simple rules of thumb. Any boat owner will benefit from understanding the characteristics of boat design which will help them if they want to modify the hull, rig, deck layout or accommodation. It will be equally useful to boat buyers who want to ask questions like: "How will she sail?"; "How much will she cost?"; "How easy is it to change things?" and "How can I reduce or increase sail area without upsetting the balance?" Boat owners and buyers will be able to feel more confident when talking to designers and boatbuilders about their current or future boat. While novice boat designers can start their journey with this book, giving them a good foundation whether they want to use pencil and paper or Computer-Aided Design. So, if you are any of the above, or simply have an interest in yacht design, this is the book for you!
