ADP Book CANOVATHON: Conversations With Renato Canova, Master Distance Coach Released
(Colorado Springs, CO) - The American Distance Project released a new book, CANOVATHON: Conversations With Renato Canova, Master Distance Coach. The 132-page book is the first to detail the philosophies and coaching theories of Renato Canova in his own words. The book actually transcribes five hour-long conversations held between Canova and other well known coaches, including legendary distance coach Dr. Joe Vigil and Olympic swimming coach David Marsh.
Canova, recognized as one of the best distance coaches in the world, details his approach to marathon training which has led to both World and Olympic medals, as well as the second fastest marathon and the fastest marathon debut in Moses Mosop's 2011 2:03:06 at Boston.
Filled with candor and humor, the words of Canova portray a coach who cares deeply for the sport of distance running and who cares even more deeply for the athletes that he coaches. In total, Canova has coached over 32 athletes who have posted personal bests better than American Records in events ranging from 800-meters up to the marathon.
The conversational format of the book helps to clarify and simply Canova's philosophies, making the book a must read
for every coach, fan and athlete.
