Smart, Sweaty, and Slightly Out of Sync: A Realistic Guide for Endurance Athletes with a Life - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Endurance coach Darren Gibbons takes you through a complete, real-life coaching framework:

• Identity & Mindset: act like the athlete you’re becoming; fewer stories, more decisions.
• Swim, Bike, Run (done smart): mechanics before metres, sustainable power, controlled threshold and long runs that don’t flatten your week.
• Strength that transfers: hinges, splits, rows and carries — positions that make hour three feel like hour one.
• Recovery & Real Life: plan deloads, scale before you scrap, and keep the habit alive when sleep and stress misbehave.
• Season Design: phases with rhythm, mini-rebuilds, taper without panic.
• Race Strategy: pacing plans that work, calm transitions, fuelling you’ve actually tested.
• After the Medal: reflect, reset, repeat — build the loop that makes you better every season.
• Tools that stick: quick reference cues, “Should I train today?” trees, brick progressions, and a Data Sanity Agreement to keep tech helpful, not bossy.

It’s not a promise of perfect weeks. It’s a practical system for imperfect ones — built on UK-plain language, small upgrades and tidy execution: one session, one job, two cues, finish clean.

If you want training that survives real life — and still delivers on race day — this is your playbook.
