This revolutionary training method has been embraced by elite runners - with extraordinary results - and now you can do it, too. Respected running and fitness expert Matt Fitzgerald explains how the 80/20 running program - in which you do 80 percent of runs at a lower intensity and just 20 percent at a higher intensity - is the best change runners of all abilities can make to improve their performance. With a thorough examination of the science and research behind this training method, 80/20 Running is a hands-on guide for runners of all levels with training programs for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.

I train by Maffetone Low Hr Training. What I like about Fitzgerald book is his talk on Aerobic capacity and how to grow it.

Excellent Running Book

I really enjoyed this! it's a lot of information, some dull I will admit. but I will take this and apply it to my running. I've 100% experienced fatigue and burnout from high mileage weeks so I'm interested to see how the 80/20 will work.

it's good!

Took away so many nuggets! Although, as an ultra runner, I instinctively believed in the 80/20 rule, this book backed it with the studies I was too lazy to look up. Although the first half (the science part) took some endurance to get through, the rewards were high. Brand new to me was the advice for older athletes and diving deep into cross-training (deeper than I have reached before). So yeah, Thank You, Matt Fitzgerald, for this sound, specific, backed-by-science (rather than trends) advice!! 🙏🏻

Good info but could have been shrunk down. I think it’s better suited as a physical book.

A lot of repetition.
