Summary

Ultra Running explores the extreme world of ultra marathons, races exceeding 26.2 miles, by examining the vital components needed for success: training, physiology, and mental fortitude. This book argues that excelling in ultra running isn't just about natural talent but a combination of strategic training and mental resilience. One intriguing fact is how athletes adapt their cardiovascular systems to handle prolonged exertion. Another is the use of specific mental strategies to combat pain and fatigue during these grueling events.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to ultra running and its challenges. It then explores training methodologies like periodization and strength training, physiological adaptations such as muscle fiber changes, and psychological aspects, including mindfulness and goal setting. Ultra Running provides a balanced view by integrating sports psychology, exercise physiology, and nutrition science. This makes it unique, offering actionable advice, training plans, and nutrition guidelines applicable to runners and coaches alike.

Inside Out - Elite Performance...

Charlie Unwin

In any high-pressure environment, from special operations to the operating theater, you can divide people into two groups—those who control their performance from the inside out, and those whose performance is controlled from the outside in. 
In Inside Out Charlie Unwin, one of the world’s leading performance psychologists, explains the techniques that enable the elite to perform at their best under immense pressure. It reveals how they think, prepare, and perform, taking you inside the highly unpredictable modern battlefield, the chaos of the catwalk, the operating theater, the stadium, the maximum-security prison, and the opera house. 
Whatever the challenge, whether life-or-death, or simply chasing a promotion at work, we are all susceptible to becoming “outside in”—when you start paying more attention to the thought of not messing up than the process of doing something well. The “inside out” method helps you gain control so that you can have a greater impact. It’s about mindset, learning new skills, maintaining confidence, and sustaining great results over time. 
Packed with inspirational stories, easy-to-follow steps, and mental training exercises informed by Charlie’s award-winning research into the performance mindset, Inside Out will help you realize your potential and lead a more successful and fulfilling life.

Breaking Waves - Discovery...

Emma Simpson

A warm, reflective and uplifting memoir about healing wounds, reclaiming a voice and discovering freedom through the open water.


The open water. To the uninitiated, it represents the unknown, an expanse of mystery and uncertainty. But to those who brave the wild waters, it is so much more. A space to heal. A place of communion. A balm to quieten the mind, soothe the soul, and allow you to reconnect with the world and yourself.


Emma Simpson discovered wild swimming after a period of immense pain. Lost in grief, disillusioned with life, and feeling increasingly untethered from the world, she instinctively felt the pull of the water. There she found an unexpected source of hope and strength, a profound sense of connection, and a glorious sisterhood of women - each with their own remarkable stories to tell.


Interweaving the tales of these inspirational women with reflections on her own experiences, Emma explores themes ranging from devastating loss to birth and rebirth, and from chronic illness to body confidence. Whether describing the taste of an iceberg or a kiss from a baby whale, Breaking Waves is a love letter to womanhood and the open water. It's also a celebration of community, renewal and the power of writing your own life story. Above all else, it is a joyous celebration of going with the flow.
