  Waterstones The Rise of the Ultra Runners

  Price: £10.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Marathons are no longer enough. Pain is to be relished, not avoided. Hallucinations are normal. Ultra running defies conventional logic. Yet this most brutal and challenging sport is now one of the fastest-growing in the world. Why is this? Is it an antidote to modern life, or a symptom of a modern illness? Adharanand Finn travelled to the heart of the sport to find out - and to see if he could become an ultra runner himself. His journey took him from the deserts of Oman to the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies, and on to his ultimate goal, the 105-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. The Rise of the Ultra Runners is the electrifying, inspirational account of what he learned along the way. Through encounters with the sport's many colourful characters and his experiences of its soaring highs and crushing lows, Finn offers an unforgettable insight into what can be found at the boundaries of human endeavour.

  Waterstones Runner's World Train Smart, Run Forever

  Price: £16.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: From the experts at the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST), Runner's World Train Smart, Run Forever goes beyond traditional training programs and addresses the types of issues that prevent runners from reaching their full potential. The goal is to turn runners into self-actualised runners: those who follow a training plan, perform cross training, stretch and strength train regularly, eat nutritious meals, and enjoy camaraderie. Bill Pierce and Scott Murr warn runners of the downsides of just running and neglecting overall fitness, as total body health is essential to achieve longevity as a runner. Runner's World Train Smart, Run Forever is appropriate for all runners, especially aging runners who struggle with getting slower and committed runners who find that their dedicated efforts often lead to injury. It addresses the controversies surrounding the dangers of over training and the stress associated with the constant craving for faster race times. The book culminates in a comprehensive program to enhance overall fitness, improve race times, and support healthy aging.

  Description

  Description: This expert guide to competitive ultra-distance cycling is all riders need to cycle a very long way, fast. Ultra-distance events are among some of the greatest challenges a cyclist can face, with riders spending hundreds of miles in the saddle over a 24-hour period, battling the elements and overcoming both physical and mental hardships. What was once elite is now commonplace, and today thousands of dedicated riders cycle up to and over 100 miles on ultra-distance rides every week. To add to this, the increasing profile of major events such as Race Across of America (RAAM), Race Across the Alps (RATA) and Ultracycling Dolomitica means that many more riders are being drawn to the challenge of 'non-stop' endurance cycling. Ultra-Distance Cycling is the first mainstream book to offer practical, authoritative guidance to cyclists looking to step-up to long-distance endurance events, as well as expert advice to established competitors seeking a competitive advantage. Written by a leading sports scientist and a record-breaking ultra-distance cyclist, this unique book is both science and experience based, offering practical and performance-enhancing insights on a wide range of areas. These include physical training and mental preparation, guidance on your support network, advice on PR and sponsorship, as well as all-important sections on equipment, nutrition and the major ultra-distance cycling events. This definitive manual provides riders with everything they need to ride longer and faster, and to excel at ultra-distance cycling events.
