Description

Building A Better Runner is your ultimate guide to distance running. Whether you are a teenager who enjoys running the mile, a hobby runner who wants to be fitter and faster, or a high-level athlete aiming for Olympic gold, this book has training tips and plans to suit your needs. There is a specific way that the body improves. If the right phases of training are used at the right times, then an athlete (from a beginner or hobby runner to an elite, high-level runner) can benefit from this scheduling. By using a scientific method developed by author and runner Terry Hamlin, this book utilizes physiology, biochemistry, and periods of stress and recovery to create the most effective program for runners looking to better themselves athletically. Hamlin wants runners to understand how the body works on a kinetic and cellular level. Additionally, he hopes to help runners understand that it’s possible to remove your frustration with not improving and make the sport of running an exciting, lifelong pursuit. Are you ready to run the distance?

Author Bio:

TERRY HAMLIN began to run to stay in shape for surfing, but it didn’t take long to become competitive. Hamlin was ranked in the top twenty distance runners in America in 1979. He won dozens of races from the mile to the marathon, and a team he put together in 1978 still holds the US Twenty-Four-Hour Relay Record. In 1977, while working full-time as a chemist at the Medical University of South Carolina, Hamlin and Dr. Marcus Newberry founded the famed Cooper River Bridge Run. That same year, Terry created the Charleston Running Club, one of the best running groups in America.

Hamlin is a devoted coach to runners interested in “becoming the best runner within.” He has coached five runners to the US Olympic Trials and has two more on the way, as of the release of this book. Hamlin lives in South Carolina with his wife, Dolly, and their two schnauzers, chickens, and assorted animals on his horse farm.

Building A Better Runner is available for pre-order and due for release on September 3, 2019. It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through most major retailers.

4.5 stars. Totally changes the game on how I’m approaching running. Not *too* technical in terms of programming, but enough to give you an idea of the method behind the process. Felt like I flew through this, and certainly could benefit from several rereads. Great resource to have on hand, regardless of your running experience or ability.

You’re given great tools to deflect injury, (hopefully) enhance your enjoyment of running and, if it’s your goal, success in competition.

Very enlightening book. Many thanks to NetGalley and Vertel Publishing for the advance read.

Neither too technical nor condescending, this is a running book that surpasses running books. It's one of the best books I've read and have tonnes of tips that I hadn't taken on board before. I've got a pile of ideas to try, thanks to this book.
