Customer Reviews
Very Interesting, Highly recommended. - Rated Matt has written a book which brings together much of the latest thinking on training for runners. He moves forwards the "central governor" theory of Tim Noakes and proposes programmes to develop the central governor to be able to let you run faster, for longer. (The central governor theory says that when you are fatigued it is not really that your muscles have run out of energy or got damaged but that your 'brain' decides to protect them from damage by letting them do less and less work for the same 'mental' effort - as evidenced by the fact that when the brain knows the finish is near, the brain lets the brakes off and much of the 'fatigue' disappears). I have started a training programme from this book but not yet completed it, (aimed for London 2008), and it includes plyometrics, cross-training, distance and tempo running, most of the mainstays of distance training, but in slightly different proportions. I am excited about this book, and it is certainly worth reading.
