RUNNING: KEY EXERCISES AND PERFORMANCE. For a long time overlooked by runners, physical preparation and strength training in running have never been the subject of a dedicated book. Running Renfo focuses on these lesser-known aspects of running, which are true game changers for athletes. Based on solid theoretical foundations explaining the benefits of strength training and physical preparation for running (muscle strengthening, mobility, proprioception, etc.) from beginner to expert runner, this book provides the keys to create a tailored physical preparation program for your entire season. You can assess your needs through screening (diagnostic and identification of the runner's needs) and develop your physical qualities with exercise proposals and circuits adapted to everyone. These practical elements are illustrated by over 800 tables, infographics, figures, and photographs, as well as references to a playlist of 145 videos available throughout the book (accessible via a QR code, free access) that explain and demonstrate the recommended movements and approaches. The practical and educational aspect is a true first and a significant added value in this type of book. Additionally, you will find exclusive anatomical illustrations by En Chair et en Os (Axel Devillard). Discover the key factors and exercises for performance in Running Renfo, in partnership with i-Run. SPECIFIC STRENGTHENING AND PHYSICAL PREPARATION STRATEGY.
