Sinopse

For one brilliant season in 1983 the sport of fell running was dominated by the two huge talents of John Wild and Kenny Stuart. Wild was an incomer to the sport from road running and track. Stuart was born to the fells, but an outcast because of his move from amateur to professional and back again. Together they destroyed the record book, only determining who was top by a few seconds in the last race of the season. Running Hard is the story of that season, and an inside, intimate look at the two men by the author of It's a Hill, Get Over It and The Round.

    Renowned fitness and health researcher Ellington Darden teaches you how to burn fat and keep it off using the science of thermodynamics. 
    Exercise researcher and author Ellington Darden has studied exercise and fat loss for more than forty years. His most recent program combines his previous findings on fat loss and muscle gain with new research on the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer for a 6- or 12-week plan that will eliminate belly bloat, destroy flab, and stoke metabolism. Integrating his many years of research, the program has had more than 1,137 participants who shed an average of 29.5 pounds of fat and lost 6 inches off their waist or belly. 
    The program consists of four main components—a descending-calorie eating plan; strength-training workouts; superhydration of the body; and rest, inactivity, and rejuvenating sleep. Men's Health Killing Fat takes you, step-by-step, through Darden's super-effective strategy. Interspersed with success stories, Killing Fat will teach you a revolutionary new way to lose weight and keep it off.

    The Simple Science of Muscle Growth and Hypertrophy Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Functional Training and Beyond and The Muscle Hypertrophy Workout BookContrary to popular belief, muscle size does not always correlate directly with muscle strength. In general, stronger athletes will have bigger muscles but this does not always hold true. And perhaps the best example of this can be seen by looking at Bruce Lee, who had relatively thin arms but was capable of performing some incredible feats. When it comes to building muscle, only half of the work is done in the gym. What’s just as important, is what you do in the kitchen and what you eat: eat wrong and you’ll be squandering all the effort you put in and all the opportunities for growth. Functional training is a way to exercise where everything you do in the workout mimics the moves of daily activities. The point is to achieve a fitter body by improving the ability to perform everyday activities. These workouts don’t aim to enlarge your muscles or make you look bigger but strive to make your body function better.In this bundle, you will get useful tips on diet and exercise that will help you build muscles. You will also learn the effect of mindset and your emotions in your quest to achieve bigger and stronger muscles. You will also learn more about functional fitness and how it can increase your functional strength.This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1. Functional Training and Beyond: Learn All the Effective Exercises That Will Help Boost Your Real Functional Strength2.

    From the trainer and high-performance expert behind LeBron James and other superstars, a blueprint to achieving peak physical and psychological well-being—and sustaining it for the long haul. With a foreword by LeBron. 
    “Mike Mancias is more than a teacher or trainer, his approach to health and wellness is an approach to life. If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” —Usher 
    Mike Mancias has spent two decades developing and refining a winning blueprint for athletic excellence. He’s worked with countless professional athletes, sports franchises, and the US Olympic Program. And his methods have propelled the rise of LeBron James, arguably the best-trained athlete in the world, and the gold standard for elite longevity. In Game Plan, he shares those secrets with the rest of us. 
    Over the course of three parts—the first focused on nutrition (“Eat with performance first and foremost in your mind”), the second on physical training (“We find the best ways to keep the body in constant motion”), and the third on recovery (“Recovery doesn’t start after performance but during performance”)—Mancias guides readers on their own journey to tiptop performance. 
    Revelations include the precise time to eat before an athletic pursuit, the hidden pitfalls of stretching, the right temperature for sleeping, therapeutic breathing techniques to turn off stress, and why naps are not just for babies. Throughout, Mancias makes the case that excellence must begin with the mind before it can manifest in the body—and shows you how to cultivate it. 
    Game Plan offers an actionable, holistic, and comprehensive roadmap to peak performance. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    Are you looking for unique ways to "get into the game"? To enhance your training and find focus? You aren't alone. Increasingly, athletes and coaches—from amateur leagues to professional football champs to Olympic athletes—are incorporating mindfulness practices into their training. That's because mindfulness can help you lower your stress levels, connect with the moment, and mentally bounce back after setbacks. So whether you're a sports enthusiast or a professional athlete, mindfulness can also help you deal with physical aspects of training, such as fatigue, aches, pains, injury, burnout, and exhaustion. 
    Written by holistic physician, mindfulness coach, and long-time athlete Amy Saltzman, this practical book offers mindfulness-based skills you can use any time throughout your athletic career, as well as in daily life. You'll discover what the author fondly refers to as the "still quiet place," and from the vantage point of that stillness, you'll be able to observe your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations—before and during practice and competition, between events, after a miss or significant loss, or exhilarating win. You'll also find skills for dealing effectively with teammates and coaches, as well as skills for coaching mindfully. A parents guide is also included.

    'The greater the challenge, the sweeter the reward, but also the greater the risk of failure. And fear of failure is the greatest barrier to success.'
    Sabrina Verjee is an ultrarunning phenomenon. In June 2021, on her fourth attempt, she became the first person to climb the Lake District's 214 Wainwright hills in under six days, running 325 miles with a colossal 36,000 metres of ascent.
    Where There's a Hill tells the story of an outsider who was never picked for a school sports team yet went on to become an accomplished modern pentathlete and adventure racer. After switching her focus to ultrarunning in her thirties, Sabrina moved to the Lake District, where she could hone her mountain-running skills on the local fells. High-profile success in endurance events followed, as she completed the Dragon's Back Race three times and was the outright winner of the 2019 Summer Spine Race, beating her nearest competitor by more than eight hours.
    However, it was the Wainwrights Round which really captured Sabrina's imagination. Having learnt about the challenge from fell-running legend Steve Birkinshaw, Sabrina began to plan an attempt of her own. Despite multiple obstacles – including lockdown regulations, bad weather, injury and controversy – Sabrina's grit and determination shone through. Where There's a Hill is a frank and inspirational account of how one woman ran her way into the record books.
