Marathon Training by Nikalas Cook
Train effectively, train well and run marathons successfully.
'I decided to do the Marathon des SablesNik Cook trained me, and despite a long history of late nights, smoking and drinking, I don't think I could have been better prepared. At the start line the other competitors laughed at me, but at the finish line some were conspicuously absent. Cook has a global, holistic and highly intelligent view of fitness. I revere him and am eternally grateful. He is, 'The Man'.' Kate Spicer, TV presenter 'Nik's balanced and varied approach meant I stayed injury free throughout all of my training. Something I've never managed before when preparing for races. His technical knowledge of training methods, nutrition, motivation and human physiology is truly impressive. He trained me for a race that was a huge stretch for me. Not only did I get through with a great personal result, but I also was able to enjoy the race because I was so well prepared. That's all down to Nik's coaching, guidance and support.' Ramez Sousou, founder and co-CEO of TowerBrook Capital Partners
