But after years spent safely sticking to the training methods she knew, Becky was curious about how her counterparts in other countries approached the sport to which she'd dedicated over half of her life. So in 2012, as a recipient of the Watson Fellowship, she packed four pairs of running shoes, cleared her schedule for the year, and took off on a journey to infiltrate diverse running communities around the world. What she encountered far exceeded her expectations and changed her outlook into the sport she loved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the next twelve months--visiting 9 countries with unique and storied running histories, logging over 3,500 miles running over trails, tracks, sidewalks, and dirt roads--Becky explored the varied approaches of runners across the globe.

It is running's Everest, a feat once seen as impossible for the human body. But now we can glimpse the mountaintop. The sub-two hour marathon will require an exceptional combination of speed, mental strength, and endurance. The pioneer will have to endure more, live braver, plan better, and be luckier than anyone who has run before. So who will it be? In this spellbinding book, journalist Ed Caesar takes us into the world of elite marathoners: some of the greatest runners on earth. Through the stories of these rich characters, like Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, around whom the narrative is built, Caesar traces the history of the marathon as well as the science, physiology, and psychology involved in running so fast for so long. And he shows us why this most democratic of races retains its brutal, enthralling appeal--and why we are drawn to test ourselves to the limit. Two Hours is a book about a beautiful sport few people understand. It takes us from big-money races in the United States and Europe to remote villages in Kenya. It's about talent, heroism, and refusing to accept defeat. It is a book about running that is about much more than running.

Joe Henderson looks like a typical guy next door. Out of Iowa, he has the smile and style of the heartland of America. But he has fallen for that old Socratic saw that the unexamined life is not worth living. The first result was revolt, rebellion and a booklet called Long Slow Distance: The Humane Way to Train. The LSD method of running that Henderson espouses is not new. He has simply systematized it and, in effect, founded a new order, a new sect that has bid pain, suffering and sacrifice good-bye. Joe Henderson is a revolutionary not because his writings have produced a wave of faster runners, but because he has spawned happier ones.\" This slim volume, published in 1969, chronicles the revolution in approaches and attitudes that helped spark the running boom of 1970s. Long Slow Distance tells the stories of Henderson and five fellow revolutionaries (Amby Burfoot, Bob Deines, Tom Osler, Ed Winrow and Jeff Kroot) who all revolted against the speed training in vogue at the time. Independently they arrived at similar conclusions about their long-distance training, slowing and going longer.

I felt discouraged and depressed, and those feelings became apparent in my writing. When I think back to that time, I realize that writing had become my therapy, my way to understand my own fears and to express a hope I did not yet feel. When the pain from my injury subsided-it took six long months-I felt the adrenaline urge again, but this time I replaced competitive racing with slow, long-distance running. Similarly, my writing style also changed: I started to write how I felt during those long runs in the form of race reports-instead of poetry-to memorialize my ultra-marathon experiences. My running life had finally pushed me forward into positive places on the trails and my spirit of running was renewed. As I re-read Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Man, after completing my own Zen Track Rambling I realized there was a lot more to the story and sat down to write a prequel and sequel to capture my experience before and after ZTR. Running for my Life: An Iowa Boy's Journey covers my early years growing up in the Iowa countryside, some running through Navy service (not as much as I should have ), falling out of the running habit then grasping running again to work through a difficult time in my first PhD program. The re-entry into running occurred November 1981 and has continued unabated until the present. Indeed my foray into ultramarathoning commenced after my 60th birthday and as of this writing has yet to end\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was born in Waverly, Iowa in the same hospital my two granddaughters were born. My sports activities included track, baseball, gymnastics, football and basketball. When not playing sports, studying or delivering newspapers at 4:00 AM I fished for Bass in the Cedar River. After a serious running injury in 2000 that removed me from racing, I turned my attention to long slow distance and ran my first marathon, The Adelaide Marathon, on 20 August 2001 the day before my 54th birthday, in 4:34. To date I have run 118 marathons and ultramarathons. As a hobby and to get in numerous shorter training runs, I sometimes pace marathons for FootWorks Miami, The San Diego Track Club and Marathon Pacing.

After breaking his leg and rupturing his Achilles Tendon (twice), author and coach Michael Rosengart thought his running days were long gone. With strength imbalances and poor alignment, Michael found it very difficult to run like he used to - before his injuries. Then Michael learned of the growing field of PreHab (prehabilitation) in a seminar with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. PreHab, short for prehabilitation, is the deliberate practice of including exercises in a training program that counter the repetitive stressors from life and\/or training to improve an individual's alignment, mobility, and stability. PreHab exercises help an individual restore biomechanical integrity to major joints, optimize movement efficiency through a given pattern of movement (such as running), and ultimately lead to improvements in performance  Essentially, PreHab Exercises effectively prepare an individual to perform. The PreHab Exercise Book for Runners outlines simple ways to evaluate alignment, mobility, and stability as well as provides corrective action to counter a list of common injuries that frequently sideline runners. Additionally, the PreHab Exercise Book for Runners includes hundreds of detailed exercises, illustrations, and instructions that aid the reader in understanding and executing the movements. The PreHab Exercise Book for Runners - Fourth Edition offers a set of Assessments and Movement Evaluations as well as an overview of the A.M.A.S.S. Method, to help runners evaluate their biomechanics and Movement Patterns en route to effectively developing their own PreHab program, which will ultimately improve their Movement Quality and running technique. Here's what others have said about the PreHab Exercise Book for Runners and Coach Rosengart: I just finished a 100-mile ultramarathon. I ran a lot of miles in training. But I also included specific PreHab exercises recommended by Coach Rosengart that helped me reach the finish line. - Evan J. I was sidelined with a knee injury from distance running. After a few short months of PreHab training, I'm running again and feel stronger than ever. Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the body, its needs, and performance. - Tom A. I sit at a desk for many hours a day at work. This book has all the tools I need to keep my running performance going in the right direction. The PreHab exercises have helped me tackle several ailments that were limiting my ability to train. - Joel S. This book is full of great tips. Very informative. Perfect for both the beginner and those who have been running for awhile. - Brenda Y. I can feel the difference - everywhere  - Glenn W.

Did you skive PE whenever it was time for cross country? Do you find that you get out of breath really quickly whenever you've tried to run in the past? Deciding to learn how to run takes guts, as you embark on a journey that you are confident will involve a large degree of discomfort. You may have tried and failed in the past to make running stick, but never the less you are determined to master it. You may tell yourself that \"running is hard\", or \"I'm just not a runner\", but the truth is that anybody can learn to run if they have the right approach. There is more to learning how to run than just going out and seeing how far you can go three days a week. Some people will undoubtedly have success with this method, but for most beginner runners this is approach is the reason they failed in the past. It usually takes a little more guidance and support to truly master the art of running. More and more beginners are deciding to take their first steps to learn how to run. Beginner-friendly races are popping up all over the place and it remains one of the most accessible sports around. The book explains the importance of the Golden Key, which many runners have found to transform their view of running, and ability to keep going for longer and longer. You'll learn about what you need to do before you even think about going for your first run. The kit you need and what you can get away with not having for the time being. You'll discover the best way to warm up and cool down, how to avoid injuries and how to deal with niggles if they do strike. How to breathe, how to avoid getting a stitch, your running technique, stretches, when it's the right time to think about running faster or even entering a race, and how to stay motivated. I cover nutrition for runners, which is especially important if you're trying to lose weight. My 'power foods' you should always have in your cupboards and the linked resources such as recipes are particularly useful. Beginner's Luck will change your view of running from a dreaded chore to excited anticipation. \"George Anderson what have you done? I'm really excited about going out for a run tomorrow morning - couldn't get out today so am itching to get out tomorrow and finish Cougar 3. Saturday mornings are for lazing about - not running; )\" - Lisa Learning how to run should be a fun and rewarding experience in itself, not just a means to achieve a goal. Beginner's Luck is a complete program that teaches you everything you need to build your confidence as a runner. The book itself contains all the information you need to get running, but you will also have access to a incredible range of powerful resources. You can join hundreds of other beginner runners in the private coaching forum on Facebook, where you'll find support and be able to ask me questions personally. There are several links within the book and in the resources section at the back to the companion website www.beginnersluckbook.com. Here you will find video demonstrations of stretches and exercises, breathing techniques, motivational interviews and warm up drills, as well as a downloadable copy of the program you can print out and tick off the runs as you complete them. The program itself removes the pressure of having to stick rigidly to a set rate of progress, and instead allows you to progress at your own pace. So whether you can commit to 1, 2 or 3 runs a week you can still go out and make consistent progress through the program. If you are a beginner runner who would like to learn how to run for up to an hour AND surprise yourself as to how easy it really is, get Beginner's Luck and start out on your journey today.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50368051806482,"sku":"9781500537906","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2681aad2-d284-4bdd-b8dd-2b2c2cad84f0.jpg?v=1728502947"},{"product_id":"runners-high-or-can-lsd-make-you-gay-how-i-ran-an-ultramarathon-tripping-on-a-psychedelic-drug-the-easy-guide-to-doing-what-you-shou-9781796941968","title":"Runner's High or: Can LSD Make You Gay?
