Description
Joe Henderson's groundbreaking book, Long Slow Distance: The Humane Way to Train, chronicles the revolution in running approaches that emerged in the late 1960s. In this slim volume, Henderson shares his own experiences and those of five fellow runners who challenged traditional speed training methods. The LSD method, as it came to be known, emphasized the benefits of slower, longer runs over high-intensity interval training. This approach not only helped to spark a running boom in the 1970s but also led to happier, healthier runners. The book provides an insight into the lives and training regimens of these six runners, who independently arrived at similar conclusions about their long-distance training. The Kindle edition includes a new introduction and updates on the six runners, offering a fresh perspective on this influential work.
