The science and technology of running have evolved dramatically in the past 20 years. This all-inclusive resource - based on the author's own high-level running and coaching experience and his interviews with dozens of other top runner's and coaches - is an indispensable tool for runners who hope to perform at the very best of their ability. "The Cutting Edge Runner" provides: a comprehensive overview of how the best competitive runners train today - covering such topics as periodisation, physiological testing, group training, techniques work, cross-training, recovery techniques, and individual customisation and a complete "menu" of workouts for milers to marathoners.
