Endurance runners and coaches have tended to neglect weight training and conditioning techniques, often in the belief that they don’t benefit performance, add unwanted muscle bulk, or cause excessive soreness. But as standards at elite level have improved, so coaches and runners have become increasingly keen on learning about the latest new training techniques or ways to stay injury free. No longer does the running community view strength and conditioning with scepticism, or as something that can only benefit elite runners. In Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Running, author Richard Blagrove shows how a strength and conditioning programme can directly improve running performance and reduce the risk of injury, as well as allowing an athlete to tolerate high volumes of running in the future.

If you are a coach or an athlete, this book is a goldmine.
Definitely worth reading if you are trying to create your own train programme or are a coach looking for some new ideas.
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.
Indicato soprattutto per i tecnici di tutti i livelli
I am a coach of athletes at various levels of ability and this helps me plan and execute the strength work to complement my existing knowledge.
