Very often, runners and triathletes, despite their apparent sports advancement, are in fact very one-sided people. At the same time, those who train only in the gym also cannot climb the stairs without panting or simply live by the rule: "If you can sit, don't stand, if you can lie down, don't sit." It doesn't smell of health either. Controversial author Brian Mackenzie wrote a book that I fell in love with after my first free 50 pages. In a community with the creator of CrossFit and Posture Running, he tried to combine the world of endurance sports, functional training, and the challenge of the time it literally compresses. Time is the main goal of everyone who follows in the footsteps of the author.

You may want to run 100 km, which is a cool goal. But if you follow the path of the classic science of running, your daily runs will eat up hours of time that you will likely take away from your family. This will not make you happier. If you set a goal for yourself - IRONMAN, then running will be supplemented by a visit to the pool (it takes a lot of time, especially in winter) and cycling (this is a LOT of running hours!).

The author suggests cutting back a little with CrossFit and high-interval training, while continuing to train in running, cycling and swimming.

The book is structured like this … First, we are taught to run posture running … If you have read Romanov's Pozny Run, then feel free to skip it. Then comes the chapter on bike … Then swimming … Next, the theory and practice of functional training begins. I am glad that the author does not pretend, like many of his colleagues, that there are solid champions in some retired sports around him, and tells everything from the very beginning. Rather, he refers to the vegetable people (couch potato). Then comes crossfit theory, where you will understand what it is and why you need it. I really liked the chapter on nutrition, which is not about what exactly we should or should not eat, but about how the system of providing the necessary energy to an intensively exercising body works. So myself biohacking, if you want to. The book ends with the fact that you compose your own program and see several ready-made programs that you can apply to yourself.

The only drawback of the book is the disgusting layout of its electronic copy. I bought both on Amazon and Apple iBooks - everywhere strange tables, cut between the pages of the picture. Better order paper on Amazon and wait for its arrival.

The book is read easily and quickly. But only on one condition: you read and understand English. In the translation of the book, alas, no.

Buy on Amazon: paper - $ 25, figure - $ 10.
