Allenarsi per gli sport di montagna

In the wake of the international success of Training for the new alpinism, Steve House and Scott Johnston got back to work for this second manual focused on mountain endurance sports. «I was surprised at how many athletes used the advice contained in our first manual to apply it to other sports. When Kilian Jornet published a post on Facebook with a photo of our book and some considerations on how the contents were also perfectly suited to training for ski mountaineering and mountain running, I understood that perhaps we needed to delve deeper into that area too. I talked about it with Scott, I contacted Kilian and we discussed training methodologies at length, finding ourselves very in tune. Eventually the idea for this second manual was born,” explains Steve House. The fact that the most important and successful athlete in the world in endurance disciplines contributed to the drafting provides even more value, if it were needed, to the work of House and Johnston. It is a very rigorous training manual, but at the same time accessible to any athlete or coach who has an interest in mountain disciplines. Skyrunning, trail running, ultra trail and ski mountaineering are becoming increasingly popular and are often practiced by the same athletes over the course of different seasons. This book summarizes the experience in the field and the profound knowledge of the sector gained by the authors, authentic champions in this field, and supports everything with scientific data and laboratory research. The objective is to educate athletes of all levels in correct planning so that they can get the most out of their training. The book includes the same mix of theory, practical advice and personal experiences from some of the industry's best-known figures, as well as educational illustrations in the style of Training for a New Mountaineer.
