details of training and keeping a log. For athletes who are
designing their own annual training schedule, he provides a
guide to planning the entire season. With 53 undated
weekly spreads, these diaries are the most comprehensive
training logs available with space for:
- every training detail, from weather
conditions to resting heart rate & daily nutrition

indicators

& lactate threshold

The Feed Zone
Cookbook
$26.95
by
Biju Thomas & Allen LIm, PHD
When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with pro cyclists, he
found a peloton weary of food. For years the sport's elite
athletes had been underperforming on bland fare and processed
bars and gels. Science held few easy answers for nutrition in
the real world, where hungry athletes must buy ingredients; make
meals; and enjoy eating before, during, and after each workout,
day after day.
So Lim set out to make eating delicious and practical. His
journey began with his mom, took him inside the kitchens of the
Tour de France, and delivered him to a dinner party where he met
celebrated chef Biju Thomas.
Chef Biju and Dr. Lim vetted countless meals with the world's
best endurance athletes in the most demanding test kitchens.
Now, in The Feed Zone Cookbook: Fast and Flavorful Food for
Athletes, Thomas and Lim share their energy-packed,
wholesome recipes to make meals easy to prepare, delicious to
eat, and better for performance.
The Feed Zone Cookbook provides 150 delicious recipes
that even the busiest athletes can prepare in less time than it
takes to warm up for a workout. With simple recipes requiring
just a handful of ingredients, Biju and Lim show how easy it is
for athletes to prepare their own food, whether at home or on
the go.
The Feed Zone Cookbook strikes the perfect balance
between science and practice so that athletes will change the
way they think about food, replacing highly processed food
substitutes with real, nourishing foods that will satisfy every
athlete's cravings.
- 150 delicious recipes illustrated with full-color
photographs
- Allen Lim’s take on the science and practice of food
- Portable whole foods, including Lim's famous rice cakes
and more
- Dozens of quick-prep meals for before and after workouts
- Shortcuts, substitutions, and techniques to save time in
the kitchen
- Gluten-free and vegetarian alternatives to favorite
dishes

An Accidental Athlete
$18.95
by
John "the penguin" Bingham
Known by fans as "The Penguin"
for his back-of-the-pack speed,
John Bingham is the unlikely
hero of the modern running boom.
In his new book An Accidental
Athlete, the best-selling
author and magazine columnist
recalls his childhood dreams of
athletic glory, sedentary years
of unhealthy excess, and a
life-changing transformation
from couch potato to
"adult-onset athlete."
Overweight, uninspired, and
saddled with a
pack-and-a-half-a-day smoking
habit, Bingham found himself
firmly wedged into a middle-age
slump. Then two frightening
trips to the emergency room and
a conversation with a happy
piano tuner led him to discover
running and changed his life for
the better.
In turns inspiring, poignant,
hilarious, and heartbreaking,
An Accidental Athlete is a
warm and engaging book for the
everyday athlete. Bingham tells
stories of the joys of running;
the pride of the finisher's
medal, a bureau-busting t-shirt
collection, intense
back-of-the-pack strategizing.
An Accidental Athlete is
about one man's discovery that
middle age was not the finish
line after all, but only the
beginning. |

Iron War $27.95
by
Matt Fitzgerald
The 1989 Ironman® World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports. In a spectacular duel that became known as the Iron War, the world's two strongest athletes raced side by side at world-record pace for a grueling 139 miles. Driven by one of the fiercest rivalries in triathlon, Dave Scott and Mark Allen raced shoulder to shoulder through Ironman's 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record--and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.
In his new book Iron War, sports journalist Matt Fitzgerald writes a riveting epic about how Allen and Scott drove themselves and each other through the most awe-inspiring race in sports history. Iron War goes beyond the pulse-pounding race story to offer a fascinating exploration of the lives of the world's two toughest men and their unquenchable desire to succeed.
Weaving an examination of mental resolve into a gripping tale of athletic adventure, Iron War is a soaring narrative of two champions and the paths that led to their stunning final showdown. |

Natural Running
$20.95
by
Danny Abshire & Brian Metzler
Natural Running is the middle
ground runners have been looking for. By
learning to run the barefoot way, while
wearing shoes, runners will become more
efficient, stronger, and healthier
runners. Backed by studies at MIT and
Harvard, running form and injury expert
Danny Abshire presents the natural
running technique, form drills, and an
8-week transition plan that will put
runners on the path to faster, more
efficient, and healthier running.
In Natural Running, Abshire
explains how modern running shoes
distort the efficient running technique
that humans evolved over thousands of
years. He reviews the history of running
shoes and injuries, making the case for
barefoot running but also warning about
its dangers. By learning the natural
running technique, runners can enjoy
both worlds—comfortable feet, knees, and
legs and an efficient running form that
reduces impact and injuries.
Natural Running teaches
runners to think about injuries as
symptoms of poor running form. Abshire
specifies the overuse injuries that are
most commonly associated with particular
body alignment problems, foot types, and
form flaws. Runners will learn how to
analyze and identify their own
characteristics so they can start down
the path to natural running.
Abshire explains the natural running
technique, describing the posture, arm
carriage, cadence, and land-lever-lift
foot positioning that mimic the barefoot
running style. Using Abshire's 8-week
transition plan and a tool kit of
strength and form drills, runners will
move from heel striking to a midfoot or
forefoot strike.
Natural Running is the newest
way to run and also the oldest. By
discovering how they were meant to run,
runners will become more efficient,
stronger, and healthier runners.

Racing Weight
$20.95
by
Matt
Fitzgerald
Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for
Peak Performance by certified sports
nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald offers the
first comprehensive and science-based
approach to weight management for
runners, cyclists, triathletes,
swimmers, rowers, and cross-country
skiers.
A 2009 study found that three out of
four endurance athletes are concerned
about their weight and half are
dissatisfied with how much they weigh.
Yet these same athletes ranked weight
loss dead last when asked about their
motivations for participating in
endurance sports. Endurance athletes
pursue weight loss as a means to better
workouts and faster racing. Fitzgerald's
own efforts to reach his racing weight
for distance running led him to discover
that there were no comprehensive
weight-management resources designed for
endurance athletes.
Using Racing Weight, endurance
athletes can find and attain their
fastest body weight and composition. The
Racing Weight program offers 5
strategies based on the latest advances
in the science of weight management.
After finding their ideal off-season and
racing weights, athletes will learn how
to improve their diet quality; balance
their intake of carbohydrate, protein,
and fat; time meals and snacks; manage
appetite; and train for lean body
composition.
Racing Weight is grounded in
the science of healthy nutrition and
exercise physiology. Packed with
findings from recent studies on weight
loss and endurance sports performance,
Racing Weight explodes myths
about fat and weight gain, protein and
muscle building, macronutrient ratios,
calorie counting, glycemic index, and
weight gain during the holidays and
off-season. Athletes will learn the
truth about sports drinks, supplements,
and recovery nutrition. The book
includes daily food logs from 14 elite
pro athletes and 21 healthy recipes from
nutritionist Pip Taylor.

Run - The Mind Body Method of Running by Feel
$20.95
by
Matt
Fitzgerald
Most serious runners don’t realize their
potential. They simply stop getting
faster and don’t understand why. The
reason is simple: most runners are
unable to run by feel. The best elite
runners have learned that the key to
faster running is to hear what their
bodies are telling them. Drawing on
new research on endurance sports,
best-selling author Matt Fitzgerald
explores the practices of elite runners
to explain why their techniques can be
effective for all runners. RUN: The
Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel
will help runners reach their full
potential by teaching them how to train
in the most personalized and adaptable
way.
Fitzgerald’s mind-body method will
revolutionize how runners think about
training, their personal limits, and
their potential. RUN explains how
to interpret emotional and physical
messages like confidence, enjoyment,
fatigue, suffering, and aches and pains.
RUN guides readers toward the
optimal balance of intensity and
enjoyment, volume and recovery,
repetition and variation. As the miles
add up, runners will become increasingly
confident that they are doing the right
training on the right day, from one
season to the next.
RUN marks the start of a
better way to train. The culmination of
science and personal experience, the
mind-body method of running by feel will
lead runners to faster, more enjoyable
training and racing. |

Smart Marathon Training
$20.95
by
Jeff Horowitz
Old-school marathon training plans ask
runners to crank out 70 to 100 miles a
week. It's no wonder those who make it
to the start line are running ragged.
Smart Marathon Training maps out a
healthier, more economical approach to
training that emphasizes quality over
quantity. This innovative program
eliminates junk miles, paring down
training to three essential runs per
week and adding a dynamic strength and
cross-training program to build overall
fitness. Runners will train for their
best performance in less time and avoid
the injuries, overtraining, and burnout
that come from running too much.
Smart Marathon Training builds up a
runner's body to resist injury. Runners
gain the strength they need to run long
using functional exercises that target
the hips, glutes, and quads. Running is
a full-body sport, so this training
program also builds a strong core and
upper body to avoid injuries that begin
above the waist.
No one fakes a marathon or
half-marathon—everyone has to do the
work. But Smart Marathon Training
replaces long, grinding miles with
low-impact cross-training. Horowitz
outlines a cycling plan to complement
run workouts, boosting base fitness
while saving runners' bodies for their
best runs.
With more than 75 detailed exercises
plus six easy-to-follow training plans
for half- and full marathons, Smart
Marathon Training will get you to
the start line feeling refreshed and
ready to run your best race yet. |

Bicycle Dreams
- DVD
$19.99
Stephen
Auerbach
The Race Across America is an epic, 3000-mile
bicycle race from the Pacific to the Atlantic. First held in 1982,
RAAM is considered the most challenging sporting event in the world.
Top riders finish in under 10 days, riding over 300 miles per day
and sleeping only a few hours per night. Amid the sleepless grind,
riders must endure the searing heat of the Mojave Desert, the
agonizing climbs and descents of the Rockies, the driving winds of
the Great Plains, and the twisting switchbacks of the Appalachians
before the final sprint to the finish line in Atlantic City. With
little prize money at stake, the fundamental goal of the race is
simply to finish, a challenge half of all riders fail to meet. |
