Core Performance Endurance

Mark Verstegen, the world-renowned performance coach who was at the forefront of the core training revolution, now applies his cutting-edge training system to the special needs of the endurance athlete with Core Performance Endurance. Verstegen's first two books-Core Performance and Core Performance Essentials-broke new ground in fitness with their intense focus on the muscles of the core: shoulders, hips, and midsection. That focus remains the key here as he not only helps endurance athletes train more effectively, but also gives them a potent regimen of core training that will help them move more efficiently, speed recovery, and stave off overuse injuries and long-term deterioration. His plan: -helps endurance athletes at all levels-from competitive swimmers and hard-driven triathletes to everyday joggers -delivers the desired combination of strength and stamina, balance and flexibility, athletic quickness and power-to which the endurance athlete strives -provides an endurance-oriented nutrition program complete with recommendations for pre- and post-race eating
