Stamina, strength, endurance, resilience: These are the keys to successful running. Yet injury rates from running are at an all-time high, and training is often to blame. In Unbreakable Runner, CrossFit Endurance founder Brian MacKenzie and journalist T.J. Murphy examine long-held beliefs about how to train, tearing down those traditions to reveal new principles for a lifetime of healthy, powerful running.

Challenging sacred cows of conventional training such as mega-mileage running and high-carb diets, MacKenzie and Murphy show how reduced mileage and high-intensity training will make you a stronger, more durable athlete and prepare you for races of any distance.

IF YOU'RE A DISTANCE RUNNER who wants to invigorate your training, solve injuries, or break through a performance plateau, you'll gain power and resilience from MacKenzie's effective blend of run training with whole-body strength and conditioning.

IF YOU'RE A CROSSFITTER who wants to conquer a marathon, half-marathon, or ultramarathon, you'll find endurance training instruction with 8- to 12-week programs that combine CrossFitTM workouts with run-specific sessions.
