This book offers a vast collection of easily understandable tips to enhance your running performance, whether you’re a novice or training for your first marathon. With his engaging and distinctive style, Britton covers a wide range of topics including training plans, nutrition and gear, running with pets, race strategies, and fell running.
If you’re embarking on your first ultra endurance race or 24-hour event, aiming to improve your parkrun time, or simply seeking ways to enjoy your training more, you’ll find relevant sections in this book.
Reflecting on the book, Britton said, “My guiding thought while writing was that good advice doesn’t have to be dull, so I hope you’ll find a mix of humor and wise counsel in equal measure.
“Throughout my years as a marathoner and ultra-runner, I’ve experienced both highs and lows in my running career. These tips are a culmination of the lessons I’ve learned from my successes as an athlete and coach, as well as the mistakes I’ve made. If they can help readers avoid a few mistakes of their own, then I’ll consider it a success.”
You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but this is a really nice cover.
