Core Performance – Endurance (book) – THE CORE training programme continues! Following the sensational success of the books “CORE Performance” and “The CORE Programme”, the German national football team’s fitness coach has now published another title. The Core Endurance Programme helps endurance athletes to make their training more efficient and prevent injuries. For anyone who feels they can no longer improve their performance in running, swimming or cycling due to a lack of time, a lack of motivation or their age, this book is just the thing. Mark Verstegen shows how to break through a plateau and achieve new performance goals. He presents a simple, holistic training programme that enables better results to be achieved despite shorter training sessions. Among other things, he emphasises a specific warm-up routine and attaches great importance to the correct execution of movements when running, swimming and cycling. The programme is complemented by a nutrition plan developed specifically for endurance athletes. This is the English edition of the book, which comprises a total of 238 pages.
