The training method described in this book starts from a theory stating that fatigue is not the result of glycogen depletion, but a mechanism used by the brain to prevent muscles' overuse: based on this, the brain can be trained to delay the moment fatigue kicks in by letting it experience feedback similar to the one it would get during our target race. Since stride is everything in running, it provides a set of cues to focus on stride improvements while running, as well as some cross-training exercises to improve stability, flexibility, and power
