Running in the Mid-Pack

An expert running guide designed to engage with the substantial, and growing, yet often overlooked, middle-of-the-pack runner. The book is co-written by Martin Yelling, London Marathon’s official coach and star of Marathon Talk, the UK’s number 1 running podcast.

Mid-pack runners are the unsung heroes of the running world and often don’t get the credit they deserve. 'Mid-packers' run week-in, week-out, year-in, year-out but are ignored in book terms in favour of beginners and elite runners. And being in the mid-pack can be far from fun, often their performances plateau and this lack of achievement can lead to a loss of enthusiasm.

This groundbreaking book is specially devised with mid-packers in mind and will provide this important group with all the expert knowledge they need to go faster and go further.

Running in the Mid-Pack will offer advice on how to reduce the risk of injuries and how to bring more enjoyment to the training process through a fascinating mix of expert knowledge, runners’ stories and sample workouts.
