LØB SOM ELITEN er den ultimative bog til den seriøse løber. Den handler ikke om, hvordan løb kan gøre dig lykkelig, sund eller slank, men udelukkende om, hvordan du skal træne for at blive en hurtigere løber og få mest muligt ud af dit potentiale.Bogen indeholder specialdesignede 12-ugers programmer til distancerne 5 km, 10 km, halvmaraton og maraton.

Derudover er der generelle afsnit om fysiologi, træningszoner, løbeteknik, styrketræning, træningsmængde og meget mere, så du bliver i stand til at forstå principperne bag din træning.Claus Hechmann er tidligere landsholdsløber og er i dag ansat som elitetræner i Sparta. For første gang deler han ud af alle sine træningshemmeligheder – og fortæller bl.a. om, hvorfor man faktisk kan blive hurtigere ved at løbe langsommere, og hvorfor hård intervaltræning ikke altid er nogen særlig god ide.

To store lidenskaber dominerer Haruki Murakamis liv: at skrive og at løbe, og for ham kan det ene ikke tænkes uden det andet. Når han løber, henter han det overskud, den inspiration og frem for alt den vedholdenhed, der skal til for at kunne skrive. Erindringen om arbejdet med de romaner, han har skrevet gennem årene, fletter sig sammen med historierne om hans mange store løbeoplevelser i et både filosofisk og humoristisk erindringsforløb, der ubesværet bevæger sig fra det underholdende fortællende til det filosofisk reflekterede.En lun og tankevækkende bog fra en forfatter, på hvis gravsten der ifølge ham selv skal stå:HARUKI MURAKAMIFORFATTER (OG LøBER)1949 - 20**I DET MINDSTE GIK HAN ALDRIG

Chico State, long known as a party school-Playboy magazine ranked it number one in the nation from 1987 through 2002-offered students an inviting environment in which to enjoy social life on and off campus while pursuing their studies. The non-athletic scholarship school drew runners to Chico like San Juan Capistrano beckons swallows homeward. One reason was Bidwell Park, which stretches miles and miles from downtown to the upper reaches of Chico Creek Canyon. In recognition of its beauty, a Warner Brothers Studio crew ventured 500 miles north from Hollywood in 1938 to film "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (a motion picture starring Errol Flynn) in Chico's "Sherwood Forest." An attraction for some was the surname of the men's cross country and track coach. He was a college All-American in football, who had played for the Green Bay Packers professional football team for a short time under Vince Lombardi, whose well-known mantra was, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." The coach's brother was a world-class miler and two-time Olympian. The women runners came under the tutelage of three successive women coaches. A solid Chico State PE teacher preceded two remarkable women athletes-both former hurdlers. The second coach was an international-level competitor, and decades later a head Olympic coach. Her successor was an even better athlete, having competed in the 1964 Olympics Games. This is the story of Wildcat and Lady 'Cat runners who came under very different coaching philosophies in the 1969-1979 era. One hundred eleven photographs; appendices; and an index to full names add value to this work.

Running programs in Chico in the 1970s were similar to those elsewhere. Famed University of Oregon coach Bill Bowerman had introduced the sport of jogging; American Frank Shorter was the winner of the marathon at the 1972 Olympics; and Steve Prefontaine, running for Oregon, drew thousands of fans to see him race. A distant 384 miles south of Eugene, Oregon, lay Chico, a small rural town in northern California. In these exciting times, a high school coach there put together the top Cross Country teams and developed the best collection of distance runners the town had seen, then or since. Included among the male and female athletes were the "Charlie's Angels"-seven high school girls which, in 1977, Harrier magazine ranked second in the nation. Five years earlier, an elite miler at the local college had the community abuzz with his quest to break the magic four-minute barrier. Meanwhile, two feisty marathoners (former college boxers) were leading the road-racing contingent in town. While doing so, they met the existing Olympic Trials qualifying standard for the 26.2-mile race. This book transports readers back to an age of innocence and excellence to run in the footsteps of the athletes of that era. One hundred and fourteen photographs add value to this work.

"In the age of hot takes and trolling, this expansive and funny study of the art and science of trash talk reveals something essential about public life--and even human nature. In the modern economy and culture, fame and virality have become increasingly difficult to separate from success. From athletes to comedians to politicians to big-ticket CEOs, everyone seemingly has to manage their brand. Saying the wrong thing is often more profitable than saying the right one. We are all, it seems, engaged in a giant insult comedy roast, even when we don't want to be. The tradition of talking trash goes back to ancient Greece, and is not always innocent fun. Who gets to do it to whom, how, and when? In this energetic and wide-ranging book, Rafi Kohan takes the measure of this sneakily important practice. Talking to historians, athletes, comedians, and more, he describes what they do and why they do it, and also asks why it's so central to the human experience. From military stress tests at Fort Bragg to the basketball court to the Jeff Ross Roast Battle, he writes about what's funny and what's mean, where the line is, and the consequences--sometimes severe--of crossing it. Trash Talk is full of good jokes and bad jokes, name-calling and moralizing. But it's also belonging, freedom, and how to live with other people"--

Focused on the drama in the lives of 'ordinary' high school runners rather than just the team elites, The Middle Distances is a blend of narratives about their three seasons of a running year and vignettes of past West Genesee competitors and others who helped shape the traditions of Wildcats distance running.
