 Hey there, are you a runner? Or maybe you're a beginner who's looking to become a runner? Either way, I urge you to check out my new e-book. It's called The Endurance Running Training Handbook, a practical guide to training for distance runners on all levels. Check it out, there's a link in the description. If you want to learn about how to increase your mileage safely, how to structure a training week, how to optimize recovery, and generally just how to drive progress as a runner, then this book will answer those questions for you. A little bit about me. My name is Mikkel. I am from Norway. I'm a running coach, both in real life and online. I have clients around the world. I coach young people and old people and everything in between, fast runners, slow runners, as well as being a runner myself, of course. Over the last 10 years or so, I have been completely obsessed about the sport of running from exercise physiology to training methodology, and I've been studying that informally on my own for about 10 years. What I've done now is that I've taken all that experience and all the knowledge that I've gained through those years, and I've condensed it into an e-book. This book includes an introduction to how the body works and what training is from a physiological perspective. It includes an overview of different types of training and how you would structure a workout maybe to target a specific physiological system in order to improve that system as a runner. Some of the topics covered in the book are things like paradiseation, racing, tapering, rest days, how to train for a 5k versus a marathon, and of course a lot about the physiology behind what actually happens in your body when you're training, and practical things like shoes, equipment, how to plan a training week, strength training, of course, rehab, injury prevention, sleep, recovery, nutrition. These topics and many more are covered in the book, and essentially the goal of the book is to teach you how to coach yourself, if you will. I mean, it's always good to have a coach. There are many reasons why I'm not going to get into that now. Of course, if you are interested in coaching, I am a coach and you can contact me through my website. The link is in the description, but buying this book will essentially enable you to make a lot of the decisions that you need to make yourself, and to actually build your own training plan now that you understand the principles that lie behind training and why you do what you do, all right? Because training is not just about throwing a lot of different types of workouts and just being like, well, let's do a little bit of this and a little bit of that and just put it together and see what happens. You've got to be pretty deliberate about why you do what you're doing and the timing of it and why you're doing it right then. Planning and executing proper training and understanding why and how is crucial to your success as a distance runner. If you want to see a list of every single topic covered in the book, every chapter name of the book, essentially the contents of the book, go to my website. The link is in the description and you'll literally see everything there so that you can get an idea of exactly what this book covers and what it doesn't cover. The book comes in a PDF format. You can read it on your computer. You could read it on your phone. The book includes a walk, run program for absolute beginners who haven't done any running. It includes a base training program for beginner runners still but someone who's maybe done a little bit of running and are looking to increase their mileage maybe and get ready for a more specific training program. And it also includes a strength training program, just basic strength and stability specific to runners. I think this book is a worthwhile investment in your training because if you think about it, knowledge of how to train is probably much more important or definitely much more important than things like watches, running shoes. We need those things as well, but if we don't have the knowledge of how to train and why we train the way we do and all the practical things around the running lifestyle and how to execute a race and strata, if we don't have that knowledge, a running watch and a couple of fast running shoes are not going to help that much. So considering that, I'm confident that this book is a worthwhile investment for you as a runner. Hopefully. You know, at the very least, I aim to entertain you. All right, that's all. Thanks for watching guys. Thanks for listening to me talk about my new e-book. Let me know if you have any questions. Post a comment down below what you think about the e-book and of course do check out the link in the description to learn more about the e-book perhaps buy it if you haven't done so already. Happy running. Bye.
