5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting, Highly recommended., 25 Nov 2007
By Nigel Charman (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Matt has written a book which brings together much of the latest thinking on training for runners. He moves forwards the "central governor" theory of Tim Noakes and proposes programmes to develop the central governor to be able to let you run faster, for longer. (The central governor theory says that when you are fatigued it is not really that your muscles have run out of energy or got damaged but that your 'brain' decides to protect them from damage by letting them do less and less work for the same 'mental' effort - as evidenced by the fact that when the brain knows the finish is near, the brain lets the brakes off and much of the 'fatigue' disappears).
I have started a training programme from this book but not yet completed it, (aimed for London 2008), and it includes plyometrics, cross-training, distance and tempo running, most of the mainstays of distance training, but in slightly different proportions. I am excited about this book, and it is certainly worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars training your brain to run better, faster and longer, 28 May 2009
By Mr. J. W. Howarth "Wes" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've followed a number of Matt's programs from training peaks with great success. I decided to buy this book to gain a greater understanding of running and training principles.

The book gives you a great insight into how the brain governs running performance and capability. This coupled with the other training techniques that Matt discusses provides a solid basis to improve your running.

I've been following the level 3 10k programme now for 6 weeks and can already see a significant improvement in my running, and more importantly in understanding what my bady is telling me!

I have no reluctance in recommending this book to anyone, it is excellent and well worth the money.
