Smart, Sweaty, and Slightly Out of Sync: A Realistic Guide for Endurance Athletes with a Life - Paperback

by Darren Gibbons (Author)

Written by endurance coach Darren Gibbons of Smart Performance Coaching, this is a practical, honest, and occasionally sarcastic guide for runners, triathletes, and anyone training with a life, a job, and knees that sometimes click.

Inside, you'll find:

• A complete coaching system designed for real life-not the fantasy version with endless time and perfect weather.

• Straight-talking guidance on pacing, planning, mindset, recovery, strength, and how to survive the occasional meltdown.

• Practical tools to help you train smarter, stay consistent, and actually enjoy the process (most of the time).

Whether you're chasing a PB, rebuilding after burnout, or just trying to hold it together between sessions, this book doesn't promise perfection.

It offers something better: a system that actually works-especially when life doesn't go to plan.
