Unbreakable Runner by T J Murphy

Break free of stale training and repetitive injuries to become an UNBREAKABLE RUNER!

Stamina, strength, endurance, resilience: These are the keys to successful running. Yet injury rates from running are at an all-time high, and training is often to blame. In Unbreakable Runner, CrossFit Endurance founder Brian MacKenzie and journalist T.J. Murphy examine long-held beliefs about how to train, tearing down those traditions to reveal new principles for a lifetime of healthy, powerful running.

Challenging sacred cows of conventional training such as mega-mileage running and high-carb diets, MacKenzie and Murphy show how reduced mileage and high-intensity training will make you a stronger, more durable athlete and prepare you for races of any distance.

IF YOU RE A DISTANCE RUNER who wants to invigorate your training, solve injuries, or break through a performance plateau, you ll gain power and resilience from MacKenzie s effective blend of run training with whole-body strength and conditioning.

IF YOU RE A CROSFITER who wants to conquer a marathon, half-marathon, or ultramarathon, you ll find endurance training instruction with 8- to 12-week programs that combine CrossFit workouts with run-specific sessions.

Unbreakable Runner includes CrossFit-based training programs for race distances from 5K to ultramarathon for beginner, intermediate, and advanced runners. Build a better running body with CrossFit Endurance, and run the race of your life!

MacKenzie has opened doors to coaches and runners, offering proven solutions to a myriad of problems that persistently vex runners of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Dean Karnazes

I was born in 1949 in Scotland and have lived in East Kilbride, London (near Heathrow), and Saudi Arabia (for eleven years). I am now retired and have spent the last nine years in Spain. I adore music, particularly Dylan, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, The Smiths, Joy Division, and The Clash. Yet I adore it all and get a rush whenever I hear something new. After retiring, I began writing poems and songs, and I've become fairly prolific.

Many of these are about the darker aspect of love, but there are also some brighter doodles. I suppose I've been affected by all of the rock poets, with a smidgeon of Rabbie and, I'd like to think, a smidgeon of Wordsworth thrown in for good measure. My poems/songs would be classified as street 'fire' poetry; that should cover it.
