Reviews of The Science of Running: "The Science of Running sets the
new standard for training theory and physiological data. Every
veteran and beginner distance coach needs to have this on their
book shelf." -Alan Webb American Record Holder-Mile 3:46.91 "For
anyone serious about running, The Science of Running offers the
latest information and research for optimizing not only your
understanding of training but also your performance. If you want to
delve deeper into the world of running and training, this book is
for you. You will never look at running the same." -Jackie Areson,
15th at the 2013 World Championships in the 5k. 15:12 5,000m best
If you are looking for how to finish your first 5k, this book isn't
for you. The Science of Running is written for those of us looking
to maximize our performance, get as close to our limits as
possible, and more than anything find out how good we can be, or
how good our athletes can be. In The Science of Running, elite
coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness integrates the latest
research with the training processes of the world's best runners,
to deliver an in depth look at how to maximize your performance. It
is a unique book that conquers both the scientific and practical
points of running in two different sections. The first is aimed at
identifying what limits running performance from a scientific
standpoint. You will take a tour through the inside of the body,
learning what causes fatigue, how we produce energy to run, and how
the brain functions to hold you back from super-human performance.
In section two, we turn to the practical application of this
information and focus on the process of training to achieve your
goals. You will learn how to develop training plans and to look at
training in a completely different way. The Science of Running does
not hold back information and is sure to challenge you to become a
better athlete, coach, or exercise scientist in covering such
topics as: . What is fatigue? The latest research on looking at
fatigue from a brain centered view. . Why VO2max is the most
overrated and misunderstood concept in both the lab and on the
track . Why "zone" training leads to suboptimal performance. . How
to properly individualize training for your own unique physiology.
. How to look at the training process in a unique way in terms of
stimulus and adaptation. . Full sample training programs from 800m
to the marathon."
