Even the most minor of injuries can sideline a runner from being
active for an extended period of time; some are even determined to
run through the pain and risk injuring themselves further. Danny
Dreyer's technique, ChiRunning, can help prevent these injuries and
promote the ability to run faster, farther, and with less effort at
any age. ChiRunning employs the deep power reserves in the core
muscles of the trunk, an approach that evolved out of such
disciplines as yoga, Pilates, and t'ai chi. Dreyer's training
principles are broken down step-by-step to accommodate all levels
of runners.
Hans van Dijk and Ron van Megen have been fans of running power
meters for years. They are internationally known for their books on
the subject. Koen de Jong thought that running on power and the
books by Hans and Ron were just complicated stuff and didn't want
to know anything about it. Now Koen has changed his mind too. Power
meters are revolutionizing running and have tremendous potential
for understanding and improving performance. More and more runners
are opting for racing and training with wattage instead of heart
rate or pace. In this book Hans, Ron and Koen explain clearly the
advantages of running on power. And most importantly, it is very
simple and brings peace of mind to your training. The Power to Run
is in three parts: what's in it for you, backgrounds and practical
tips and cases.
