Resumen del Editor

Primal Endurance shakes up the status quo and challenges the overly stressful, ineffective conventional approach to endurance training. While marathons and triathlons are wildly popular and bring much gratification and camaraderie to the participants, the majority of athletes are too slow, continually tired, and carry too much body fat respective to the time they devote to training. The prevailing "chronic cardio" approach promotes carbohydrate dependency, overly stressful lifestyle patterns, and ultimately burnout.

Mark Sisson, author of the 2009 best seller, The Primal Blueprint, and de-facto leader of the primal/paleo lifestyle movement, expertly applies primal lifestyle principles to the unique challenge of endurance training and racing. Unlike the many instant and self-anointed experts who have descended upon the endurance scene in recent years, Sisson and his co-author/business partner, Brad Kearns, boast a rich history in endurance sports. Sisson has a 2:18 marathon and fourth-place Hawaii Ironman finish to his credit, has spearheaded triathlon's global anti-doping program for the International Triathlon Union, and has coached/advised leading professional athletes, including Olympic triathlon gold and silver medalist Simon Whitfield and Tour de France cyclist Dave Zabriskie. Under Sisson's guidance, Kearns won multiple national championships in duathlon and triathlon, and rose to a number-three world triathlon ranking in 1991.

Primal Endurance applies an all-encompassing approach to endurance training that includes primal-aligned eating to escape carbohydrate dependency and enhance fat metabolism, building an aerobic base with comfortably paced workouts, strategically introducing high-intensity strength and sprint workouts, emphasizing rest, recovery, and an annual periodization, and finally cultivating an intuitive approach to training instead of the usual robotic approach of fixed weekly workout schedules.

Primal endurance is a book for everyone, not only for athletes but also for the ones who are pursuing a healthier lifestyle.

great book

I think it's a great book specially if you are in the running field. however anyone wanting to enjoy a healthier active lifestyle will greatly benefit from it.

You may be compelled to start a new course

The contents of this book make the most sense to me as an endurance athlete than any other collective of knowledge when it comes to fitness/nutrition/lifestyle. I bought the hard copy as soon as I finished to start creating a plan for myself. Brad's narration was done very well. Although he could get corny at times it was clear that he knows his stuff and didn't need to strictly read out of the book.

Not just a book

I really both loved and hated the book. I hated ot because i could not stop of listening to it ! It took me more than 16 hours to finish it since English is not my native language. This book is an MSc in sports science! Congratulations to everyone and special thanks to the narration !

No PDF's

As it was already mentioned PDFs should be attached for the key information provided about aerobic and anaerobic leveling.
Overall it was a great book allowing any athlete to reset their base and determine where they should concentrate when working out for optimal fat burning results.

Unlike all other athletic handbooks it doesn't push you into reaching a goal of one or multiple marathons or over exertive exercise routines.
Be active, eat right, sleep well and not in that order.

Game changer!

great story listened at 2.5x and learned sooo much! keto diet, along with recovery, and proper ways to work out with HRV training!
