Unleash the Power of Strength & Conditioning for a Lifetime of Running Strong
Ratings3
Average rating3.7
Stamina, strength, endurance, resilience: these are the keys to successful running. Yet injury rates from running are at an all-time high, and training is often to blame. CrossFit Endurance found, Brain MacKenzie and journalist T.J. Murphy examine long-held beliefs about how to train, tearing down those traditions to reveal new principles for a lifetime of healthy, powerful running. Challenging conventional training, the authors show how reduced mileage and high intensity training will make you a stronger, more durable athlete and prepare you for races of any distance.

Decent insight for anyone who runs and is not familiar with CrossFit. The skills and drills integration was novel to me (at the levels MacKenzie prescribes) - his short-hand notation for workouts is still pretty frustrating (and not nearly as intuitive as other CF jargon). I'd give it a higher rating if that were more of a focus, but it seems almost purposefully obtuse (no master index, helpful reference sheet, just an almost throw-away “This will get easier as you get used to it.”)
Other than that, decent read, worth it for anyone looking for a change in their racing or CF focus (and I believe it would make races like Ultras more safe).
