Training for the Uphill Athlete: A Manual for Mountain Runners and Ski Mountaineers, por Kilian Jornet, Steve House y Scott Johnston (libro de tapa blanda publicado por Patagonia)

This book changed how I think about training in some fundamental ways. Before reading it, I was majorly burnt out and considering dropping running all together. The way this book describes the process that contribute to running ability along with its focus on balancing trail load with recovery have allowed me to get back on feet and look forwards to my next adventure. As of now, I plan to run as many of the Cascade Mountains as I can in the next two years, starting with South Sister. That isn't to say that this book is the magical cure to all your running woes and reading it will grant you the secret to running nirvana. If you are already in a good place with your training, this probably isn't necessary for you, although I'd be willing to bet most people, even some pros, could learn a thing or two from it. The bottom line is that if you're looking to add some new energy to your training or are looking to augment your training and don't know where to start this book will have some good insights for you.
