Running the Rogue Way by Coach Chris McClung & Jafar Abunasser, MD is more than just a training guide; it is the definitive playbook for all levels, from weekend warriors to Boston Marathon qualifiers, Olympic Trials aspirants and coaches seeking training wisdom.
Inspired by the legendary Arthur Lydiard's principles and refined through McClung's work at Rogue Running and his podcast Running Rogue, this book demystifies elite training for everyday runners of all ages and abilities. Learn to build a powerful aerobic base through consistent, easy-paced miles, avoiding injuries while maximizing speed and strength. McClung's 12 principles-six for training, six for racing-blend science, discipline, and community spirit, offering actionable strategies to craft season-long plans, master periodization, and execute purposeful workouts like long runs, tempos, and recovery sessions. But it's not only about the workouts. You'll also discover how to run by feel, sharpen your mental game, visualize success and peak for race day so you can race fearlessly and with precision.
From base-building to race-specific phases, the book covers training paces, tapering, fueling, and overcoming setbacks, ensuring you arrive at the start line ready for a command performance. Coaches gain insights to elevate their athletes, while runners learn to avoid common pitfalls and leverage group training's accountability and camaraderie. Whether chasing a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or marathon, Running the Rogue Way equips you with tools to run smarter, faster and stronger. Join the Rogue community and embrace a philosophy that transforms not just your running but your approach to achieving big goals, one purposeful mile at a time.
