Modern Training and Physiology for Middle and Long-Distance

Modern Training and Physiology for Middle and Long-Distance Runners

Planning your training as a young middle or long-distance runner is a daunting task. What should your weekly workouts look like? How much mileage should you run? When is the right time to train speed? How fast is a tempo run? How do you ensure that you are on the right track for long-term development? Modern Training and Physiology for Middle and Long-Distance Runners answers these questions and many more. It is a short but detailed explanation of the practical aspects of exercise physiology: energy systems, the aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, VO2 max, running economy, muscle fibers, and more. In addition, it covers how these ideas inform both your day-to-day workouts and the underlying philosophy that forms the foundation of your training program. Following someone elseâ€™s training plan isnâ€™t enough. You need to apply your own knowledge of training principles to improve your strengths, bolster your weaknesses, and ultimately become a better runner.
