Endurance training for long distances for beginners and advanced runners
Training programs for distances from 3 to 100 kilometers are included
This book aims to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts, coaches, and generally people who are involved, or want to get involved, in endurance training for long distances. The way it is written is relatively simple, to be accessible to the general public. Additionally, greater emphasis has been placed on practical application instructions rather than theoretical analyses, because I believe that this is where similar manuals fall short. (It is a fact that there are many books in Greek and foreign literature regarding the theory of athletic training, as well as exercise physiology). Where deemed appropriate, there are brief references and explanations to make the practical application understandable. In this manual, events considered long-distance endurance are all events from 3000 meters and above, up to the Marathon, including the 50 and 100-kilometer races. A small reference will also be made to middle-distance events, 800 and 1500 meters, because although they are classified as middle distances, the aerobic energy production mechanism also plays a crucial role in them. Finally, with the significant increase in mass sports in recent years in our country, it is deemed necessary to differentiate training between athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Only through this differentiation is it possible to structure individualized programs as well as select the appropriate training methods, based on the level of physical fitness.

One of the worst books I have ever read. Poorly written with spelling mistakes and copy-paste information. Definitely not for beginners and definitely not helpful at all. It belongs in the trash where it deserves to be. You can find much better books in foreign literature.
EXCELLENT book. With simple and understandable language, it provides the reader with all the necessary knowledge to learn how to design their own training plan.
An excellent book is the best thing available in Greek, informative and comprehensive with very accurate information about running for both amateur and professional runners.
In addition to the ready-made programs, all the information needed for a runner to create their own program based on their own needs is provided.
Finally, the ready-made programs at the end of the book with the paces of each training session, I don't think exist in any other book in Greek literature.
Congratulations to Giannis Vafeiadis for his effort and excellent result, truly a very useful book for everyone!
I bought it as a new runner after completing my first marathon. I really devoured it like water in an afternoon and then I started taking notes. Very well-written, very good guide for new runners but also more advanced, explanations for all types of training and many training samples depending on the reader's athleticism that really provoke incredible interest to try them! It's worth every last cent.
A necessary guide for every runner, from beginner to experienced. Well-written, easy to read, accurate, and practical. With theoretical background and training practices. Very good print quality, careful editing, and of course the best bonus? Colorful. Enjoy and have good workouts!
The book is excellent, it is the most serious thing in Greece. Personally, it helped me improve a lot. Congratulations to Ioannis Vafeiadis for his excellent work
Excellent book. Very well written. With very simple words, an amateur runner understands the basic principles of training in order to understand why they do what they do, but also to create a beautiful program. Vafeiadis shares his knowledge and science generously. It really deserves the money!!! Excellent work.
Essential for every runner. Easy, understandable with charts that make the transition from one level to another easy. With many examples for all levels. It should be found in every runner's library. I highly recommend it!
As an amateur runner (from 5K to Marathon), I highly recommend this book as the number one choice for every amateur runner, regardless of their level. It will help them either to follow a ready-made program (for all levels and distances) or to easily and practically understand the basic principles of the training they are doing, so that they can perceive the usefulness of each type of training. It is "digestible" by combining practical application with theoretical background, just enough so that it does not become tiresome.
The book is easy to understand for the casual runner, providing valuable advice at a very reasonable, I would say low, cost. The tables included for training program development will greatly assist athletes who train on their own, whether they are beginners or quite advanced. I highly recommend it and hope that in the future it will also release a book with the necessary running and strength exercises for every runner.
Necessary tool for those interested in delving into the basic principles of long-distance training, with the goal of becoming better runners.
Well-written book with comprehensive and simple language so that it is understandable even by newcomers to the running movement.
It includes a series of detailed tables where anyone can easily create a training program based on their abilities, which can be adjusted whenever needed, minimizing the risk of injury.
The perfect "coach" to be fully prepared at the starting line.
The book is the best thing available in Greek for both amateur and professional runners of almost all distances! In addition to ready-made programs, it provides all the information a runner needs to create their own program based on their own needs. The tables allow the runner to know the pace and volume of each training session, tempo, intervals, fartlek, threshold, etc.
In short, an excellent tool for all runners that didn't exist in Greece until now
Excellent book that provides in a simple and understandable way all the information a runner, beginner or advanced, needs. It explains how to create your own program by explaining the basic principles of training. Finally, the ready-made programs at the end of the book with the pace of each training, I don't think exist in any other book of Greek literature. Congratulations to Mr. Vafeiadis for his effort!
My coach is an amazing book-guide, through which I now create my training program for marathons. It is informative, simple, and detailed. Honestly, I have learned and continue to learn a lot from this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone involved in endurance sports, athletes, coaches, amateurs, and professionals. Excellent scientific work! Congratulations to the author, Ioannis Vafeiadis!
Having searched various books in recent years regarding running, I can say that this is a comprehensive book that contains all the detailed information that both a beginner and a professional athlete need. Clearly, it is value for money and time, as it includes everything in one place without the need to search online or in other books. By reading it, I had various questions answered and learned how to become better. I believe that this is a book that those interested in proper running need!
Incredibly well-written book.
It is the ultimate solution for both beginners and experienced runners who want to be in control of their own training.
By following the instructions based on the runner's level, they can maintain or safely improve their performance.
The "value for money" is a poor expression for its worth.
Well done, Giannis.
Very good structural book for various distances, one of the few written in Greek. It has training tables, something that is rarely found, depending on each person's level, so someone can train with the right pace, proper breaks, etc.
As a swimmer, my knowledge of running was very basic, as were my training sessions, which simply served physical fitness purposes. After the first period of quarantine, I started running and reading systematically to improve my performance and knowledge. The choice of this particular book fully justified me, and I recommend it blindly to all runners of all levels and ages. I understood to a great extent the philosophy and training method of running. It is very understandable for beginner runners and helps you build your training with a great variety of programs. The improvement was dramatic, and even now I reread several points that I understand better and help me in my training even more!
The author has provided a wealth of knowledge that I believe helps you from the beginning, no matter what level you are at and what level you want to reach, as if you have a personal trainer.
Result: now the joy of running training is the same as swimming!!
Everything a runner needs. Whether amateur or advanced. There is no reason to read anything else.
Extremely helpful book! Well-written, easy to read, and reasonably priced. Excellent for beginners as well as advanced runners, as it allows you to create your own programs with its detailed tables. It is a valuable tool and perhaps the best of its kind in Greek literature.
Unique book!! Every runner who respects himself should have it in his library.... Informative and comprehensive with very accurate information about running!!!
Congratulations!
The best Greek running book. Ideal for all runners, beginners and advanced. Easily understandable by everyone, various charts that help more advanced runners create their own training programs. It's worth its money for the knowledge it shares.
I consider this great book to be lacking in both content and quality in the Greek literature. There is a wide variety of programs for every taste and runner. Rich literature with detailed analyses.
Congratulations!
Excellent book that translates the scientific terminology of endurance training into simple language understandable for those who love running. With useful tables that can practically help a wide range of runners, it is a useful tool for those involved in running.
Excellent book, very good job by the author. Beautiful images, theory written in simple words for anyone to understand and the tables do an excellent job for anyone who wants to create their own program based on their abilities (there are also ready-made programs for beginners and advanced runners). My warm congratulations to the author and the publishing house!

It is worth reading for someone who is involved in running, it has useful training information.
It should not be missing from any runner's library....I would call it a runner's manual. Worth it.
