Running Book Reviews with Alan and Liz
Run Elite, by Andrew Snow
In this episode we chat with author Andrew Snow about his book Run Elite. Andrew is very passionate about helping runners improve their performance and it shows in the podcast.
Run Elite covers all aspects of high-level marathon training. Although the reference is mostly to marathon running throughout the book, the information provided is applicable to longer and shorter distances also. The book consists of 22 chapter divided into 3 sections:
Mindset
Elite Training
Special Workouts and Elite Hacks
Some of the unique things that this book discusses includes:
How an unreasonable belief in yourself can help you perform better.
The triphasic model of training.
The surprising performance benefits of cold exposure.
Special workouts like alternation runs and sarcomere runs to help peak your training.
Andrew Snow is a performance and mindset coach for distance runners and founder of Run Elite, a unique program for guiding runners to outstanding improvements in performance from the 5K to the ultramarathon distances due to his unique system of combining mindset tactics with world-class training science. He holds a degree in exercise physiology, a master’s degree in biomechanics, and has trained extensively under the Tony Robbins’ Master University system for creating rapid life change. With 27 years of competitive running experience, Andrew has achieved a conference title on the track, multiple finishes in the Boston Marathon, and in 2013 hung up his road shoes to pursue trail ultra-running, where he has won many races and has completed several races over 100 miles, including the iconic Tahoe 200-mile endurance run.
