But when he arrived, Sherman was in such bad shape he could barely move, and his hair was coming out in clumps. Chris decided to undertake a radical rehabilitation program designed not only to heal Sherman's body but to heal his mind as well - and so Chris decided to teach Sherman how to run.

Every runner knows pacing is critical. It can be the difference between a PR and a DNF. In On Pace, acclaimed running coach and author Matt Fitzgerald reveals how conventional training and device overdependence keep runners from accessing the full power of pacing. With a mix of fascinating science and compelling stories from every corner of the sport, Fitzgerald shows that pacing is the art of finding your limit—running at a pace to finish the workout or cross the finish line completely out of gas.

Different, but as enjoyable as Born to Run.
As the title states, it is a tangible training guideline with valuable insights and techniques. The author has added enough stories to really colour it in and make it enjoyable and inspiring and not allow the book to become'only' a training guide. If you rnkjoyed Born to Run, you will appreciate the successor.

Loved this.
The book had answers to all my questions as a relatively new runner not really knowing where to start. I'm really looking forward to starting my 90 day challenge in a few weeks.
