Run Smart uses the latest scientific research to show how preparing
for, and running, marathons can be made easier, and in doing so
challenges many of the myths that surround marathon running. The book
will draw on the author's experience as one of the UK's leading sports
scientists, his extensive research background in marathon running, and
his experience as a marathon runner, to provide credible advice to
runners to support their preparation for a marathon. The book will
challenge many current concepts, myths, and ideas, and provide
science-based alternatives in areas such as training and nutrition that
will optimize and ease a runner's preparation for, and completion of,
the 26.2 mile distance.
This highly accessible book will use the latest scientific findings to
support new runners training for their first marathon and help more
experienced athletes improve and train smarter.
