As recently as 1966, women were forbidden to run in the marathon. Professionals - including doctors - believed it was physically impossible and dangerous for women to run more than a mile and a half. But as with many other barriers women have faced over time, we fought our way in. Today, women make up almost half of the marathoning population. Yet most marathon training manuals are written by men. And while these men are experts when it comes to how men can and should train, women need training programs tailored to our bodies....

Joining a boxing gym is intimidating for beginners. Causing most people who have the desire to start boxing, to miss out on the mental and physical benefits that you gain from boxing—I want to stop this. I was once very lazy; I lacked discipline and was generally scared to try anything that looked difficult. You most likely find yourself in that position, but enough is enough; it is time to improve yourself.

Publisher's summary
In recent years, there has been a huge influx of interest in climbing. Climbing gyms are popping up all over the place, and new climbers are taking to the outdoors, but there aren’t enough old timers to pass on all of the necessary knowledge that comes with taking on such a sport.
There is more to climbing than just going up a rock. Once you join the sport, you become part of a community, a family, and there are certain unwritten rules that should be adhered to. You wouldn’t want to give your new community bad name, just because you didn’t want to take the time to learn the ropes (pun intended).
Climbing isn’t about muscling your way up the wall. There are techniques you can learn that will make you more efficient and a better climber. In this audiobook, you will learn the fundamentals of climbing and what makes you a better climber.
If you were to take one message out of this book, it is that there is a difference between being a better climber and a stronger climber. You want to be a better climber. Strength comes after.ward. Employ the basics in this book and build a solid foundation of skill. Start slow to avoid any injuries. Be patient. And most importantly have fun!
About the author: Brigitte has been competitive athlete since a very young age, and in those years, she learned how imperative it is to allow the body to adapt to each sport. In college, she competed in water polo, swimming and was on the NCAA division 2 women’s crew team at University of California San Diego.
Having a strong foundation is key in any sport, and climbing is no different. Brigitte has been climbing for about 10 years. Throughout her climbing career, she was fortunate enough to have amazing mentors and experienced climbers pass their invaluable knowledge down to her, and she wants to do her part in passing it all to you. You can learn more about Brigitte and her rock-climbing journey at www.instagram.com/cartastrophe.

Triathlon: Winning at 70.3 is dedicated to all triathletes who are thinking about stepping up to the middle distance. 70.3 Half Ironman training requires quite a different approach to the shorter distances, and to be successful, a more professional approach to training is required. Do not set yourself up for failure on race day! Simply doubling your Olympic distance training will not work. Those who do this will struggle. Do not be one of these! 70.3 triathlon is a serious step up and preparation is key.

Forget what you might have been told; triathlon running is not like typical running. The triathlon run comes after a swim and a bike. The training, pacing, and technique requirements are very different from regular running. But this isn’t what triathletes have been told. Fortunately, with the right kind of run training, the triathlon run doesn’t have to be a long, painful slog with a stumble to the finish. Triathlon Running Foundations provides the specific information athletes need in order to feel strong for every step of the run, all the way to the finish.
