Engaging and practical

Full of hands on practical info backed by theory and experience. Entertaining interviews break the theoretical sections nicely. Some training books are boring like reading pubmed. This is not one of them

Valuable training tool.

I’m very pleased with this second addition of Training Essentials for Ultrarunning. The authors read the book and experts of the topics are added in. This will be my reference tool that I go back to for working through challenges.

Audiobook in Podcast Style!

This audiobook is awesome! Whoever told Jason it was a bad idea was crazy. I find that I learn best listening to content like this while being able to reference it in the hard copy. I found the scientific detail much easier to digest a comprehend in this format. The fact that Koop set this up like a podcast with guest speakers and experts makes it even better.

so informative, written for committed runners

This book doesn't just tell you the basics, it breaks down the details each step of the way. Koop doesn't hold back his opinion which is always based on facts and personal coaching experience.

Great Listen

Very technical review but well read so that you can comprehend/ retain information without seeing it. Author does a great job sharing the factual realities of all the anecdotal and legacy practices in running.
