Description

Make your workouts count with the breakthrough system that synchronizes your energy levels with training effort. Instead of fighting your body to finish a workout just because it’s written on the calendar, choose the most effective workouts from 5K and 10K Training based on your body’s capacity to perform at any given time.

Effort-based training maximizes training adaptation by matching the goal of each workout with its optimal training level: hard when energy and recovery are high and easy when stress or recovery is low. Effort-based training also gives you the most control over the training process, allowing you to stay injury free while actually increasing the energy you have available for workouts. Sample programs contain a variety of schedules and detailed workouts for developing five race-specific abilities.

Run stronger and faster with more energy by using the proven system in 5K and 10K Training. With customized programs to choose from and accompanying training logs to record and evaluate your progress, this unique system is the fastest way to reach your training goals.

Customer reviews for '5K and 10K Training'

«For the serious runner»

Having run in marathons since my late 40's (I'm 61) in Honolulu, Italy and Denmark, I am now training for Triathlons, and find Brian Clarke's book to be an excellent teaching tool for the more "serious" runner (altho my primary purpose is for better health as I am a real estate Developer)."

«Very dull and not helpful»

This was the first book I ever read on running and after reading it I almost quit running and thought all running books were useless dribble. This book was very dull and had no substance to it. It was very hard to read and spent most of the focus on how you feel and how to rate your energy level during your run. It didn't have any structured plans or advice for training. Thankfully, I decided to read other books or I'd have never realized that there were people that actually gave useful and helpful information.

«Useless book.»

I agree with other reader about lack of any scientific backing of author's claims. He is going on and on about your "energy" and doesn't give you any actual advices about running.
