How to Run the Perfect Race

FULLY UPDATED & REVISED BETTER RACING THROUGH BETTER PACING Pacing can be the difference between a breakthrough workout and a backbreaker, a PR and a DNF. In How to Run the Perfect Race, acclaimed running coach and author Matt Fitzgerald reveals how conventional training and device overdependence will keep you from accessing the full power of pacing.

This quintessential running skill unlocks hidden potential and unleashes confidence, enabling runners of all experience and ability levels to continue to improve. 16 TRAINING PLANS FOR 5K, 10K, HALF-MARATHON, AND MARATHON EVENTS Hone your pacing through improved body awareness, judgment, and toughness. Choose from four plans for your race distance accommodating runners at all levels, novice to expert.
