“As an athlete, trainer, and chiropractor, I run new fitness and endurance publications through a tremendously fine filter. This book is beautifully laid out, well-researched, and charmingly written—and provides a truly holistic view of training for any endurance athlete. With a focus on results, Kim Peek has unlocked an optimizing approach that should be read by all athletes, not just those of the endurance persuasion.” —Heather Denniston, DC, CCWP, NASM, creator of WELLFITandFED, and author of The Three Day Reset

“Kim has made positive changes in her life, and now she is sharing her experience to inspire others to do so with this book. Just read the book and start the process. It's not as hard as you think!” —Danny Abshire, author of Natural Running

“Coach Kim’s holistic approach transforms the way we view endurance training. Don’t just cross finish the line—thrive!” —Lyn Lindbergh, founder and award-winning author of Couch to Active.

“Kim’s passion and enthusiasm for endurance fitness will stoke the fires of your inner athlete! She covers the essentials of goal setting, training, nutrition, mobility, and flexibility plus the oft-overlooked yet critical subject of heart health. Be sure to read and reread the chapter The Mental Game because, in my opinion, this is where our journey to improved fitness begins. By recognizing our self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, we can work to create new, healthy habits that will feed our soul, nourish our bodies, and help us reach our athletic goals. This book is a must-read for beginners and experienced athletes alike!” —Bonnie Parrish-Kell, founder and creator of Slowpoke Divas (slowpokedivas.com) and Go Speedy Divas (gospeedydivas.com)
