Abstract des Autors

Sebastian Coe's rise to the top of world-class middle-distance running was no accident. It was the direct result of an approach to training that combines practical principles with scientific knowledge - the approach described in Training Distance Runners. This is the first book to integrate scientific principles about how the body adapts to training with practical information on designing individualized training programs for middle- and long-distance runners. In Training Distance Runners, you'll learn about the biomechanics and biomechanics and biochemistry of running, adaptations of the heart, skeletal muscles, and blood to endurance training, developing a plan for total body fitness, the importance of multitier and multipace training, strategies for successful racin, from the 800-meter through the marathon, integrating psychological and physiological aspects of athlete development, stress management to avoid athlete burnout, the dangers of overtraining, and more.
