| Dear Mircea, When competing or training, how long is it before your body starts to feel tired... Before your muscles begin to ache, and you find it hard to breathe? Or worse, before your rivals outpace or outplay you? There's nothing more frustrating, especially when you've been training ‘by the book' and doing everything you've been told is right... So where is it all going wrong? I'll tell you. The one key element missing is... more endurance training! | "But surely endurance training is just for endurance athletes?" |
Not anymore. There aren't many sports today where a sportsman or woman doesn't require endurance. Whether you're an ‘explosive' track and field athlete or a tennis player, it is your ability to resist fatigue – to stay as close to your peak for as long as possible – that's going to play a deciding part in whether you are a winner... or not. You only have to look at the great team sports to know that the champions are always those who can consistently perform at the highest level from start to finish in a game/match, and repeat that form throughout the entire season. Think about it... A lack of stamina not only hampers your physical performance; it can cause you to make unforced technical or tactical errors, as increasing tiredness affects your mental alertness and reaction times. You can eliminate all of this. How? By focusing on the following goals in your training: - Increasing your all-over cardiovascular fitness and strength
- Improving your muscles' ability to deal with repetitive or explosive contractions
- Training your tendons to store and release energy as required
And all of this can be achieved through whole-body endurance workouts you can complete at the gym, or at home, in around 30 minutes... Click here to get these power and stamina-boosting workouts right now. It makes sense. And yet, so many athletes are still overlooking endurance training. They think it doesn't apply to them, because they're not competing over long distances, or need to be able to find a sudden rush of energy to make a final push to the finish. These are the athletes that will always fail to reach – and maintain – their peak. I don't want that to happen to you. So with your permission, let me give you my brand-new Endurance Training for All Sports Pack, free of charge today. It contains ready-made, stamina-boosting circuits, workouts and exercises that you can slot straight into your existing training; each one is designed to enhance your strength, muscular endurance and all-round cardiovascular fitness. When you can compete at near maximum output, time after time, round after round, you'll battle back against those opponents that are currently outdoing you, no problem. Click here to claim your free Endurance Training Pack today. The new rules for fighting fatigue Let me dispel one common myth right away: endurance training isn't about going on long, boring runs. Today, I'm proposing a high-intensity/low-volume approach that's challenging and full of variety. You'll perform exercises that push your body's capabilities further than before, and use equipment such as free weights, medicine balls and exercise bands. | "That's great, but what proof do you have that it works?" |
Because it's based on scientific findings. This isn't mere theory or opinion. For the last 15 years, I've published Peak Performance – the leading research newsletter on stamina, strength and fitness for sport. Our training advice and plans are founded on evidence from trials conducted at leading sports science research facilities around the globe. My team of elite-level coaches and professionals pore over technical journals (such as The Journal of Applied Physiology and Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sports) and turn the latest findings into practical workouts for you – the athlete who wants to raise their game and start winning. These guys already use the endurance training circuits and exercises in my pack with their own clients – some of whom are Olympic and Paralympic athletes. When you see the Peak Performance name against a training plan, you know that we've created it for one reason: because it works. Train just like the world's elite – get my Endurance Training Pack, free of charge. Turn 'traditional' endurance thinking on its head This question from Nick Grantham, an elite-level strength and conditioning coach, was the key reason I put this pack together: | "What if intensity and not volume is really the key
for unlocking your endurance potential?" |
The 'accepted' method of training to develop endurance has traditionally followed a 'long and slow' approach – working on volume of work, before shifting to intensity in the run-up to competition (e.g. starting with those long, boring runs!) I promised you a different approach today. And here it is: Reverse periodisation. A bonus article in your pack from Nick explains the thinking behind this lesser-known, highly-effective approach to training. He tells you the reasons why starting with short, high-intensity efforts first, and then moving onto developing that intensity over larger volumes, is more beneficial for athletes... And not just the endurance ones. Only by forcing your body to adapt to working hard (as you will with my stamina-boosting workouts!) will you be able to sustain fitness and energy levels throughout an optimum period. Not the other way round. Nick's article makes for compelling reading if you're an endurance athlete who's struggling to surpass your current PB... How can you expect to see improvements if you just follow the same training patterns over and over again? Unlocking the benefits of reverse periodisation might just do the trick. Click here to access your Endurance Training Pack and see why a new approach to training can make all the difference to your performance... Teach your body to work harder and for longer Introduce my high-intensity workouts into your training, and you'll quickly see your overall fitness, strength and stamina levels improve. Your body will deliver oxygen more effectively, in order to keep your energy levels up and muscles working... And as you strengthen and elongate your muscles – through targeted movements, with or without resistance – they'll be able to contract and exert power/speed for longer, meaning you maintain a consistent level of output. Soon, you'll find that you won't need to slow down, or stop completely, to build yourself back up again in competition. You'll have the energy ready and waiting in reserve, while your opponents start to flag and fail to keep up. If you're determined to succeed in your sport, claim your free Endurance Training Pack and get the tools you need to beat fatigue and perform better. The real beauty of these workouts is that you can adapt them to fit around your individual needs. I'm not suggesting that you throw out your entire training routine to focus on endurance training. Think of it as the 'icing on the cake'... the missing element that will make you a more powerful, formidable athlete. You simply focus on the exercises/workouts that will be of most benefit to you and your sport. (More on those in a moment.) They're all time-efficient too. You'll be able to do them before you go to work, during your lunch break, or whenever you can fit them in... Even when you're away from home and don't have access to a gym. You won't get bored as you train, and the results of your efforts will be clear and measurable. (The looks on your rivals' faces will be worth it alone!) So there's no reason why you shouldn't click on the link below now, and prove your desire to be the athlete that outlasts the competition. But maybe you want to know more first... Can't wait? Click here and access your Endurance Training Pack – or read on to learn more about our workouts.

Vince Sesto, Victoria, Australia |  | Peak Performance is about convenience and being able to source quality information easily. How could you not like that?

Loc H Ho, Toronto, Canada |  | The usefulness for me as a Coach is that it keeps me fully up to date with the latest research in sports science, so that I can maximise the performance of my rugby players. Also, with a back ground as a physical education teacher, I find it not only interesting but beneficial to read about what other sports are doing to enhance the performance of their athletes.
Bernie Kelly, Co Galway, Ireland |  | I think this is the most comprehensive and informative resource there is available. It has helped me as a trainer and an athlete to be able to better my knowledge base in an easy to understand format. When I have questions I seem to be able to find the answers on your website.
