In the modern health-conscious society, jogging has rapidly increased in popularity with both young and old, men and women, while the numbers of entries for marathons and 'fun runs' have swelled. However, it is a sport in which there is real danger of injury to an ill-informed or unfit participant. This detailed book explains the training principles which will avert this danger. Covering endurance events from 800c2 to the marathon, and aimed as much at the coach as the runner, it explains physiological principles, training methods for endurance, strength, speed and mobility, the special needs of the young or female runner, the importance of nutrition, and the effects of clothing and climate.
