The popularity of distance running as a sport, and a recreational
activity, is at an all-time high. Motivated by the desire to
achieve a personal best, remain healthy, or simply complete an
event, distance runners of all ages and abilities actively seek out
advice from experienced coaches and sport scientists. This is also
reflected in the growth of programmes of education for young
coaches and aspiring sport scientists in recent years. There are a
multitude of different approaches to training distance runners;
however, the basic principles and ingredients required for success
are applicable to any distance runner. The science that underpins
the training and physical preparation of distance runners has
developed considerably in recent years. The most experienced and
successful coaches in the distance running community rarely have
the opportunity to share their tried and tested methods of
training. Similarly, the novel work of sport scientists is often
only accessible to elite runners, their support teams and academia.
The Science and Practice of Middle and Long Distance Running links
together the science and coaching artistry associated with
preparing distance runners for events ranging from 800 m up to
ultra-marathon distances. It combines the latest scientific
evidence, published by world-leading sport scientists, with the
sound training principles and strategies adopted by experienced
coaches. The book translates cutting-edge scientific research from
the fields of physiology, biomechanics, psychology and nutrition
into practical suggestions for achieving success. Important topical
issues and contemporary practices related to health and performance
are also addressed. This book is an essential addition to the
library of any distance runner, coach or sport scientist.
