Through a sensible, minimalist approach, this title maps out a healthier, more economical approach to training, emphasising quality over quantity. Rather than wasting time and energy on junk miles, it pares down training to three essential runs per week, mixing in core work, strength training, and cycling.

In this book, the author simplifies strength training into just two 20-minute workouts per week, with no gym or pricey equipment required.
