    • PRELOMOVÝ PROGRAM PRE TRIATLONISTOV – začiatočníkov, stredne pokročilých a pokročilých – zameraný na vyváženie intenzity tréningu a dosiahnutie špičkového výkonu. Najnovšie výskumy dokazujú, že triatlonisti a iní vytrvalostní športovci podávajú najlepší výkon, keď 80 percent tréningu absolvujú pri nízkej intenzite a zvyšných 20 percent pri strednej až vysokej intenzite. Prevažná väčšina rekreačných triatlonistov však uviazne v takzvanej „rutine strednej intenzity“, pričom takmer polovicu svojho času strávia príliš intenzívnym tréningom – dokonca náročnejším ako profesionáli. Tvrdší tréning však nie je zákonite lepší; v skutočnosti vedie k chronickej únave, ktorá bráni rekreačným športovcom dosiahnuť najlepšie výsledky. V komplexnom tréningovom programe 80/20 experti Matt Fitzgerald a David Warden predkladajú overené vedecké dôkazy, ponúkajú konkrétne tipy a tréningové stratégie spolu s kompletnými tréningovými plánmi pre všetky výkonnostné úrovne športovcov a na každú vzdialenosť – šprint, olympijskú vzdialenosť, polovičného Ironmana a Ironmana. Poznanie a praktizovanie tréningu 80/20 zmení vaše triatlonové skúsenosti. Tréningy budú pohodlnejšie a príjemnejšie, zlepší sa regenerácia, zníži sa riziko zranenia, urýchli sa rozvoj vašej kondície a vaše výkony na pretekoch sa dostanú na úplne novú úroveň. Možno sa nikdy nestanete profesionálnym triatlonistom, ale nie je dôvod, prečo by ste tak nemohli trénovať.

    • Her students draw images of tragic violence and careful optimism: rafts and tanks, flowers and the Eiffel Tower. In her eight years in Germany, Ali Fitzgerald experiences the highs of the creatively hopeful, along with the deep depression of the disillusioned, all while waiting to stumble onto her own glory like the great Modernists before her. In the gigantic plastic bubble that is the refugee center, worlds collide and echo, and her drawings are compassionate and unflinchingly intimate, perfectly visualizing the fantasy of her Bohemia crumbling in a globalized city.

      An endurance athlete and coach reveals how the marathon transforms the lives of everyone who attempts it--and how it has helped his own family cope with serious adversity Step after step for 26.2 miles, hundreds of thousands of people run marathons. But why--what compels people past pain, lost toenails, 5.30 am start times, The Wall? Sports writer Matt Fitzgerald set out to run eight marathons in eight weeks across the country to answer that question. At each race, he meets an array of runners, from first timers, to dad-daughter teams and spouses, to people who'd been running for decades, and asks them what keeps them running. But there is another deeply personal part to Matt's journey: his own relationship to the sport--and how it helped him overcome his own struggles and cope with his wife Nataki's severe bipolar disorder. A combination of Matt's own How Bad Do You Want It? and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, Life Is a Marathon captures the magic of those 26.2 miles. At the end of the day--and at the end of the race--the pursuit of a marathon finish line is not unlike the pursuit of happiness. You will pick up the book for a powerful personal story about what running does for the people for whom it does the most. You will put it down with a greater understanding of what it means to be alive in this world.
