Beyond Training – Ben Greenfield
Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts train hard but still struggle with injuries, fatigue, poor sleep or stalled progress. In Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health and Life, coach, triathlete and podcaster Ben Greenfield argues that true performance depends not only on how you train, but on how you recover, eat, sleep and live.
Greenfield draws on scientific research, his own experience as an endurance athlete and his work with clients to present a comprehensive approach to performance and health. He explains why many common training methods can lead to burnout, and discusses alternatives such as high-intensity interval training, strength training and polarized training approaches designed to build fitness efficiently.
The book goes far beyond workouts. Greenfield explores recovery techniques, sleep, nutrition and fueling strategies, digestion and gut health, hormones, stress management, brain performance and the use of tools, gadgets and biohacks. He also addresses topics such as avoiding overtraining, managing inflammation and balancing athletic ambitions with family and work life.
Packed with detailed information and practical recommendations, the book is designed as a resource that readers can return to again and again.
Beyond Training will interest triathletes, runners, cyclists, fitness enthusiasts and anyone interested in optimizing their health and performance. Some of its recommendations, especially regarding supplements and biohacking, are not universally accepted, and readers should consult a doctor or qualified professional before making major changes to training, diet or supplementation.
