Run like a champion : an Olympian's approach for every runner
\"One of America's most versatile and accomplished runners, Alan Culpepper, reveals the best practices of the best runners. Over his 25-year career, Culpepper won national titles from 5K to marathon, a span of race distances so wide that just a few runners can claim the same impressive versatility. Culpepper sets out his approach--and the lessons he learned from his competitors--so that all runners can fully realize their potential. Culpepper has a unique understanding of what it takes to compete at the highest level. His running career has put him on the start line alongside the world's best runners, and he has found that despite their many differences, talents, and approaches to training, among them they share a common understanding: the best athletes know that the secret to success in running lies in understanding a bigger picture of training. Not everyone has the physiology to run at the highest level, but everyone can benefit from implementing an Olympic approach to running. Run Like a Champion shares a holistic approach to running, looking at not only the essential training elements, but also other key pieces of the puzzle: identifying motivation, finding a proper work/life/family balance, and understanding complementary aspects of training such a[s] stretching, how much to drink, your diet, and how to avoid and treat injuries. Run Like a Champion reveals all the guidelines, tips and tracks, workouts, mental training, and nutritional practices that Olympic runners use. By making this Olympic approach part of their running, runners of all levels will make their goals achievable from 5K to marathon\"-- Provided by publisher.

Anxiety and Mood Disturbance Are Prospectively Associated With Respiratory Infection Risk and the Mucosal Immune Response to Exercise
We prospectively examined whether psychological factors influence (a) respiratory tract infection (RTI) risk and (b) the mucosal immune response to exercise. In Study 1, n = 406 adults (67% male) recorded RTI symptoms for two weeks before and after a marathon. In Study 2, under controlled laboratory conditions, n = 45 adults (51% male) completed 60 min of running at 65% V̇O2peak (EX) and seated rest (CON) in randomised order. Anxiety, total mood disturbance (TMD) and perceived psychological stress were measured before exercise. Saliva collected pre‐ and post‐exercise was analysed for secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA). Fifty runners suffered an RTI post‐marathon. Runners prospectively reporting high trait anxiety or TMD were more likely to suffer an RTI post‐marathon (OR [95% CI] = 1.06 [1.02–1.11] and 1.04 [1.01–1.07], respectively). Higher trait anxiety and TMD were associated with a greater reduction in saliva SIgA (p < 0.05). There was no association between mucosal immunity and RTI risk (OR [95% CI] = 1.00 [0.97–1.01]). In Study 2, despite no significant difference between EX and CON (p > 0.05), psychological factors were associated with the SIgA secretion rate response to exercise in men (trait anxiety, state anxiety, TMD, psychological stress: r = −0.55, −0.65, −0.61 and −0.66, respectively; p < 0.01). In conclusion, anxiety and mood disturbance were prospectively associated with infection risk after a marathon and the mucosal immune response to exercise. Athletes should optimise psychological well‐being to support immune health. Researchers should take account of psychological factors when examining the mucosal immune response to exercise. Highlights Psychological factors, including anxiety and mood disturbance, were prospectively associated with respiratory infection risk after a marathon and the mucosal immune response to exercise. Athletes should take steps to minimise exposure to high stress and anxiety and improve mood prior to competition to support immune health and infection resistance. Researchers should account for psychological stress and anxiety when examining the immune response to exercise.

The Training Intensity Distribution of Marathon Runners Across Performance Levels
The training characteristics and training intensity distribution (TID) of elite athletes have been extensively studied, but a comprehensive analysis of the TID across runners from different performance levels is lacking.
Training sessions from the 16 weeks preceding 151,813 marathons completed by 119,452 runners were analysed. The TID was quantified using a three-zone approach (Z1, Z2 and Z3), where critical speed defined the boundary between Z2 and Z3, and the transition between Z1 and Z2 was assumed to occur at 82.3% of critical speed. Training characteristics and TID were reported based on marathon finish time.
Training volume across all runners was 45.1 ± 26.4 km·week
, but the fastest runners within the dataset (marathon time 120-150 min) accumulated > three times more volume than slower runners. The amount of training time completed in Z2 and Z3 running remained relatively stable across performance levels, but the proportion of Z1 was higher in progressively faster groups. The most common TID approach was pyramidal, adopted by > 80% of runners with the fastest marathon times. There were strong, negative correlations (p < 0.01, R
≥ 0.90) between marathon time and markers of training volume, and the proportion of training volume completed in Z1. However, the proportions of training completed in Z2 and Z3 were correlated (p < 0.01, R
≥ 0.85) with slower marathon times.
The fastest runners in this dataset featured large training volumes, achieved primarily by increasing training volume in Z1. Marathon runners adopted a pyramidal TID approach, and the prevalence of pyramidal TID increased in the fastest runners.
