In new book, Julian Goater focuses on technique to help runners achieve their goals
Windsor, ON--From casual joggers to elite sprinters, the sport of running encompasses a wide range of athletes among its millions of participants worldwide. Unfortunately, there are also numerous stereotypes about how distance runners should run and train. Former world-class runner Julian Goater, whose times for 5,000 and 10,000 meters remain among the fastest ever by a British athlete, meets those stereotypes head-on in his forthcoming book, The Art of Running Faster (Human Kinetics, January 2012), helping any runner reach his or her goal of personal improvement.
The Art of Running Faster presents a uniquely practical approach to running by prescribing not only what to do but how to do it. Focused on technique, the book shows readers how to overcome factors that prevent them from running faster and how to avoid injury with new running techniques and training ideas. Working with one of his former students, author and journalist Don Melvin, Goater shares his personal experiences and anecdotes about fellow athletes to help demonstrate and apply each technique. Tip boxes, chapter summaries, and photos are also included for an easy-to-understand guide to better running.
Much more than a training manual or motivational story, The Art of Running Faster is a comprehensive book detailing the importance of technique and how readers can use a progressive pattern to develop themselves into better and more efficient runners.
