Summary

FULLY UPDATED & REVISED
BETTER RACING THROUGH BETTER PACING

Pacing can be the difference between a breakthrough workout and a backbreaker, a PR and a DNF. In How to Run the Perfect Race, acclaimed running coach and author Matt Fitzgerald reveals how conventional training and device overdependence will keep you from accessing the full power of pacing.

With a mix of fascinating science and compelling stories spanning the sport, Fitzgerald shows that pacing is the art of finding your real limit—running out of gas just as you complete the workout or cross the finish line. This quintessential running skill unlocks hidden potential and unleashes confidence, enabling runners of all experience and ability levels to continue to improve.

16 TRAINING PLANS FOR 5K, 10K, HALF-MARATHON, AND MARATHON EVENTS

Hone your pacing through improved body awareness, judgment, and toughness.

Choose from four plans for your race distance accommodating runners at all levels, novice to expert. How to Run the Perfect Race equips you mentally and physically with a proven strategy to become a better runner, capable of knowing and executing your best effort on any given day.

This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A nice mix of stories and practical advice

I really enjoyed this book. I loved learning more about the science of pacing, what makes people good/bad at pacing, as well as some practical ways to improve pacing skills. There was some really interesting stuff about the qualities that make a good runner too. Citing alcoholism as an example of 'letting yourself go' though is a shockingly bad take.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
