 | | | | | Read an excerpt from the new release The Art of Running Faster This book is about something that many people don’t realize exists: the art of running. The way you move, how you structure your training, how you prepare for races, how you build confidence and determination, and how you develop your tactics—all of these elements are part of the runner’s art. Yet runners often feel their results depend on just two factors. One, of course, is talent. And it’s taken for granted that the other is sheer, pig-headed determination, the will to churn out miles week after week. Nothing else, it is thought, will make a runner fitter. Nothing else will help a runner reach his or her potential: Just spend more time on the roads. Grit your teeth and grind it out. And if you don’t have time enough to do that, you cannot improve your 10K time or achieve your goal in the marathon. You’ve reached your limit. The thing is, that’s not true.

| | | | | "Drink as much as you can, even before you feel thirsty." That's been the mantra to athletes and coaches for the past three decades, and bottled water and sports drinks have flourished into billion-dollar industries in the same short time. The problem is that an overhydrated athlete is at a performance disadvantage and at risk of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH)--a potentially fatal condition. Dr. Tim Noakes takes you inside the science of athlete hydration for a fascinating look at the human body's need for water and how it uses the liquids it ingests. He sets the record straight, exposing the myths surrounding dehydration and presenting up-to-date hydration guidelines for endurance sport and prolonged training activities. This highly anticipated new book will be available in May. Find out more. | | | | | Bestselling Track & Field Resources

| | | | | Read an excerpt from Developing Agility and Quickness, Adding a third cone allows for different combinations of movements and increases the complexity of the drills. To set up for three-cone drills, coaches should place three cones in a straight line, spaced approximately 5 yards (5 m) apart. While performing three-cone drills, athletes must maintain a good athletic position. They should also use short, choppy steps to round the cones. The 180-degree drill in the previous section provides good training for three-cone drills. Athletes can use a variety of movement combinations for three-cone drills. Additionally, all of the drills in the previous section can be modified for three cones. The following examples are just some of the possible combinations for three-cone drills. All are level 2 drills. Continue excerpt. | | | | | Participate in Sports Jobs 101 course with HK author Rick Horrow
