Autographed copy.  A groundbreaking and fascinating discussion of the theories of run training, from bestselling author, coach, and exercise physiologist Jason Karp, PhD, MBA. 

How do you know the precise combination and best order of workouts that will enable you to run faster? How do you know the right time to do another workout after doing a workout on Tuesday? How do you individualize training for runners of different strengths, weaknesses, adaptive abilities, developmental ages, and time frames?
 
Sometimes, you need to break the rules.

In the groundbreaking book, Running Periodization, Jason Karp, PhD, MBA explains a variety of training theories using theoretical and historical frameworks, scientific research, and documented empirical evidence from the world's best runners to discover how to optimally train. The book shows runners and coaches how to design training programs using several periodized approaches, including linear periodization, reverse linear periodization, block periodization, and undulating periodization, as well as how to periodize training for high school and college runners, strength training, and even a woman's menstrual cycle.

Running Periodization shows you how to work on your training, not just in your training, to make you a world-class training strategist and the best runner you can be.
