Intermediate-level female runners who have been consistently running at least three days per week will find this book to be useful in their training. It includes specific training advice for 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon races, and provides concrete examples of workouts that are beneficial for women who are training for races of each distance. The book also contains support from groundbreaking scientific studies that have proven the effectiveness of various training methods, so you can be sure the recommendations in this book are based on sound evidence.

Primal Endurance shakes up the status quo and challenges the overly stressful, ineffective conventional approach to endurance training. While marathons and triathlons are wildly popular and bring much gratification and camaraderie to the participants, the majority of athletes are too slow, continually tired, and carry too much body fat respective to the time they devote to training. The prevailing "chronic cardio" approach promotes carbohydrate dependency, overly stressful lifestyle patterns, and ultimately burnout.

This is for runners in Liberia
This book purports to give advice (quick or not) about running a 5, 10 or marathon distance. It is full of imperial distance advice for the metric distances. That is plain ridiculous. Liberia, Myanmar and the US are the only countries left who use miles - so this should be renamed as a book for runners in Liberia, Myanmar and the US.
Training schedules should be provided in pdf - they are poorly rendered in voice format.
