If you are looking for how to finish your first 5k, this book isn't for you. The Science of Running is written for those of us looking to maximize our performance, get as close to our limits as possible, and more than anything find out how good we can be, or how good our athletes can be. In The Science of Running, elite coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness integrates the latest research with the training processes of the world's best runners, to deliver an in depth look at how to maximize your performance.
It is a unique book that conquers both the scientific and practical points of running in two different sections. The first is aimed at identifying what limits running performance from a scientific standpoint. You will take a tour through the inside of the body, learning what causes fatigue, how we produce energy to run, and how the brain functions to hold you back from super-human performance. In section two, we turn to the practical application of this information and focus on the process of training to achieve your goals. You will learn how to develop training plans and to look at training in a completely different way. The Science of Running does not hold back information and is sure to challenge you to become a better athlete, coach, or exercise scientist.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

However I was not ready to be overwhelmed with so much data and facts.
Ultimately every runner is different physiologically, psychologically and have different goals and events. Hence no one system fits all.
The idea is to review the science, figure out where the limitations to achieve one’s goals are and then develop plans to improve them, and test and repeat.
Unfortunately this books would be better as a physical copy that gets dog eared, highlighted and reread. Because there’s no way an audiobook is as easily referred back to.
One minor gripe: without much narrative stories and anecdotes, it a bit harder for the “lesson” of each section to get in. It felt more textbookish at times.
Wealth of data and facts

This is not a book for someone trying to do their first or even 5th 5k. Not for the general fitness runner. This book is for someone who wants to win a race at any distance, train someone to win or delve into research
