Life is a marathon : a memoir of love and endurance
\"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.\"--Amazon.com

Diet cults : the surprising fallacy at the core of nutrition fads and a guide to healthy eating for the rest of us
From the raw food movement to Atkins, an ever-increasing number of health and weight-loss diets are engaged in an overheated struggle for new converts. But underneath such differences, author Fitzgerald observes, these disparate groups all agree on one thing: that there is only \"One True Way\" to eat. The first clue that this is untrue is the sheer variety of diets. Indeed, while all of these competing \"diet cults\" claim to be backed by science, a good look at actual nutritional science suggests that there is no single best way to eat. What makes us human is our ability to eat -- and enjoy -- a wide variety of foods. The appeal of diet cults is their power to offer a food-based identity to latch onto, yet many more of us are turned off by their arbitrary rules. Fitzgerald offers an alternative: an \"agnostic,\" reasonable approach to healthy eating that is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of personal preferences and lifestyles.

80/20 triathlon : discover the breakthrough elite-training formula for ultimate fitness and performance at all levels
\"Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called \"moderate-intensity rut,\" spending almost half of their time training too hard--harder than the pros. Training harder isn't smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results. In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance--Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman--to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results\"-- Provided by publisher.
