Download or read book Running Heavy written by Jeff Grant and published by Hillseeker Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running Heavy provides you with motivation, inspiration and knowledge to make a huge impact on your running and overall fitness. I wrote this eBook and developed the 2 included 8-week training programs with an intense passion for helping people overcome the same challenges I’ve experienced starting as an overweight runner and completing challenging ultramarathons and endurance events around for the past two and a half decades. Running Heavy offers a powerful 360-degree approach to support two groups of runners – those carrying: 1) Extra Bodyweight: overweight, heavy, big-boned, more bodyfat than you want, need to pass a running test while heavy, worried about your knees. If you feel heavy when you run, you’re covered here. 2) Extra Weight carried, pulled or pushed: athletes who want to build speed, power, durability, and endurance from running with weight vests, prowlers, sleds, tires, buddies and other loads. If your job, sport or training passion involves moving heavy loads quickly with your body, you’re covered here. Learn how to run heavy without getting hurt Coach Grant takes you through an in-depth course on injury prevention, safe technique, realistic and effective progressions and more. You’ll learn the 11 rules of heavy running, why each rule matters, and how to use these rules to run in a way to reach your goals without trashing your body. His program even dives into the mind training topic of mental weight, emotional baggage, body image, ego and other factors that weigh many people down. Whether you are running while overweight or throwing on a weight vest / PPE and dragging a sled, the fundamentals are the same across both groups. The safety considerations, injury prevention, supplemental strength and flexibility work are the same. The progressions and mind game tactics are all the same. You may even find yourself in both groups at one or more points in your life. There is no program like this that approaches weighted running holistically, from equipment to progressions, from mind to body, from knowledge to full training plans. You’ll never view running heavy the same after completing the Running Heavy program. Training Plans, Workout Libraries and Mind Hacks This program includes two separate 8-week training programs, a library of workouts for weight vests, sleds and other loads, and a toolbox full of mind training tools. For those interested in exercise science, Running Heavy draws from the key studies in this relatively young field of study. The programming is based on science as well as Coach Grant’s 25+ years of experience finishing and coaching runners to finish some of the most extreme races on the planet. About the Coach Coach Jeff Grant has trained Navy SEALs, Professional Athletes, Law Enforcement Officers, Celebrities and MORE! Jeff trains in the Swiss Alps where he lives and coaches Tier 1 Clients and leads adventure travel expeditions around the globe.

Download or read book Running with the Devil written by Robert Walser and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A solid, scholarly analysis of the power, meaning, musical structure, and sociopolitical contexts of the most popular examples of heavy metal.” —Library Journal Dismissed by critics and academics, condemned by parents and politicians, and fervently embraced by legions of fans, heavy metal music continues to attract and embody cultural conflicts that are central to society. In Running with the Devil, Robert Walser explores how and why heavy metal works, both musically and socially, and at the same time uses metal to investigate contemporary formations of identity, community, gender, and power. This edition includes a new foreword by Harris M. Berger contextualizing the work and a new afterword by the author. Ebook Edition Note: all photographs (sixteen) have been redacted. “Walser belongs to a small but influential group of academics trying to reconcile ‘high theory’ with a streetwise sense of culture . . . an excellent book.” —Rolling Stone “Takes musicology where it has never gone before; I once saw the chapter on metal guitarists and the classical tradition performed live in a lecture hall, but even on paper it smokes.” —SF Weekly “Walser is truly gifted at doing what few critics before him have done: analyzing the music . . . In virtuoso readings of metal music that forge persuasive links between metal and particular classical music traditions, Walser reveals the ways that musical structures themselves are social texts.” —The Nation “Making surprising connections to classical forms and debunking stereotypes of metal’s musical crudity, Walser delves enthusiastically into guitar conventions and rituals.” —The Washington Post

Download or read book Heavy written by Kiese Laymon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Selected as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times* *Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, NPR, Broadly, BuzzFeed (Nonfiction), The Undefeated, Library Journal (Biography/Memoirs), The Washington Post (Nonfiction), Southern Living (Southern), Entertainment Weekly, and The New York Times Critics* In this powerful, provocative, and universally lauded memoir—winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal and finalist for the Kirkus Prize—genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon “provocatively meditates on his trauma growing up as a black man, and in turn crafts an essential polemic against American moral rot” (Entertainment Weekly). In Heavy, Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence, to his suspension from college, to time in New York as a college professor, Laymon charts his complex relationship with his mother, grandmother, anorexia, obesity, sex, writing, and ultimately gambling. Heavy is a “gorgeous, gutting…generous” (The New York Times) memoir that combines personal stories with piercing intellect to reflect both on the strife of American society and on Laymon’s experiences with abuse. By attempting to name secrets and lies he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding, he asks us to confront the terrifying possibility that few in this nation actually know how to responsibly love, and even fewer want to live under the weight of actually becoming free. “A book for people who appreciated Roxane Gay’s memoir Hunger” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), Heavy is defiant yet vulnerable, an insightful, often comical exploration of weight, identity, art, friendship, and family through years of haunting implosions and long reverberations. “You won’t be able to put [this memoir] down…It is packed with reminders of how black dreams get skewed and deferred, yet are also pregnant with the possibility that a kind of redemption may lie in intimate grappling with black realities” (The Atlantic).
