Fitness and Training: Endurance Training

It seems to be human nature to push our limits. Endurance training is just one manifestation of that. How far can we run? What's the longest distance we can swim? Who will win the Tour de France? The human capacity to endure is quite literally what allowed us to survive throughout history. Endurance Training takes a deep dive into the elements behind extreme human feats. From the science of altitude training and aerobic capacity to adding strength training exercises to improve your cross-country times, this book answers all of your questions about endurance. Every book in the Fitness and Training series looks extensively at the impact of diet, exercise, mental training and physical training on the human body. Especially in the modern world, a lifestyle that includes fitness is critical to well-being and longevity, and this 8-title series helps you to adopt the right approach.
