Nacho Martínez brings his fifteen years of seasoned coaching experience, spanning both recreational and high-performance athletes, to the fore in his compelling work, Trail Running, Science & Training. This book integrates his practical knowledge with the findings of the latest research in the field, some of which were conducted by Martínez himself.
Across 16 illuminating chapters, the book delves into the key factors influencing performance, neuromuscular and bioenergetic assessments, strength and endurance training strategies, as well as the periodization of training methods and loads. It further provides insights into the management and analysis of competitions, and the monitoring and adaptation of training plans.
Despite its rigorous approach, the book communicates these complex topics in an accessible, user-friendly language. It is not intended as a book exclusively for coaches, nor is it a self-training manual solely for runners. The reason being that a book should never serve as a substitute for a professional coach.
So, who is this book designed for? It’s for curious individuals like you, who have a keen interest in continuously expanding their knowledge about their sport.
Laia Cañes, the 2nd ranked athlete at the World Trail Running Championships 2018, says, “My dream came true. And the keys to making your dreams come true, or those of your athletes if you’re a coach, are contained within the pages of this book.”
Juan Carlos Granado, the Head coach of the Spanish trail running national team, appreciates Martínez’s wisdom, “We will always have Nacho to enlighten us with his humility and in-depth knowledge. Thank you, Nacho, for sharing your wisdom; it is of enormous help to us.”
