Trail Running: Science & training - Paperback

by Nacho Martínez (Author)

Nacho Martínez's fifteen years of experience as a coach of recreational and high performance athletes alike, merge in in this title: Trail Running, science & training, with the results of the most recent research in this field, some of them led by the author himself.

Throughout 16 chapters, the factors that determine performance, neuromuscular and bioenergetic assessment, strength and endurance training, periodization of training methods and loads, management and analysis of the competition and the monitoring and adaptation of the training plan are approached in a rigorous way, but with a close language.

This is not a book created exclusively for coaches, although it is not a self-training manual book intended only for runners, because the professional figure of a coach should never be replaced by a book. Then, to whom is the work you now hold in your hands aimed at? Well, to people like you, restless people interested in continuing learning about their sport.

"My dream came true. And the keys to make yours come true, or that of your athletes if you are a coach, can be found in the pages of this book." Laia Cañes. 2nd ranked at the World Trail Running Championships 2018.

"...We will always have Nacho to enlighten us with his humility and in great detail. Thank you Nacho for sharing this wisdom, it is a great help to us." Juan Carlos Granado. Head coach of the Spanish trail running national team.
