Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Running

If you run or are interested in strength and conditioning, there really is not a better book to buy its that simple.

From a coaching point of view a great reference book.

Full of information, some of it above my level

I have several books on Strength and Conditioning but this one is by far the best one - well laid out and easy to read. As well as clear illustrations on the exercises there is also photos of the poor techniques to look out for when doing the exercises and how to correct them. I have only just started using this book but think it gives me the best chance to have long term injury free consistent training that I have been looking for.

Great does the job!

Excellent book. Sets out the reasoning behind and advantages of a well thought out strength and conditioning programme for runners, particularly long distance. As a coach for trail/mountain running as well as other mountain sports such as mountaineering and skialp I have found it extremely useful with some good ideas and suggestions. Definitely worth reading if you are trying to create your own train programme or are a coach looking for some new ideas.

I have been interested in S&C for some time but I've found other books to be either too generalist (not specifically aimed at distance runners) or too theoretical (particularly the Strength & Conditioning Bible). This book is brilliant! It's got plenty of the theory but equally balanced with the practical activities. It has completely transformed my pre-run routine, my gym workouts and my whole outlook on S&C. Every time I need to reference something I tend to find the answer in here. Would absolutely recommend this any runner who is looking to commit to S&C and wants to do it the right way.

A very specialised book that addresses a rarely covered subject. A must for endurance runners and coaches alike. The exercise illustrations are superb and there are so many suggested exercises that they cover every aspect of an athletes strength and conditioning needs.

Terrific compendium of exercises and more importantly, a guide on how to think about strength and conditioning. This was recommended to me by a friend/former teammate of Charlie Grice (elite middle distance athlete). Read the book cover to cover. Do not skip ahead to grab exercises randomly. The strength of this book is getting you to systematically assess your weaknesses and develop a training program that supports your running. You will miss this aspect by skipping to the exercises. If you are a coach or an athlete, this book is a goldmine.

El libro es perfecto para entender qué ejercicios son los mejores para trabajar la fuerza si eres corredor. Está muy detallado, con fotos, tablas y explicaciones. Indica cómo hacer los ejercicios y también los errores más comunes. Propone ejercicios para hacer en gimnasio con aparatos y otros alternativos si no quieres/puedes ir. Vale mucho la pena

Uno dei migliori libri mai letti, di qualsiasi ambito e argomento. Preciso, diretto, concreto... Nessun giro di parole: solo informazioni estremamente utili

Love the book, have good assessment as well as practical exercise that helps.

Kam leider bei der Bestellung zunächst verknickt an. Konnte dann aber problemfrei zurückgesendet und neu bestellt werden. AM Buch selbst gibt es nichts auszusetzen.
