The “One-Percenter Principle”
The “One-Percenter Principle” is based on the belief that 99 percent of your running ability is derived from your typical running.
The final one percent - the percent that separates champions from those in the middle of the pack, that separates a huge PR from “a decent race”, that truly helps you reach your full potential - comes from many seemingly simple practices that in reality have transformed entire teams from obscurity to national renown.
Each of these practices - or “one percenters” - supplements the training you already do and can be done during your regular season and “off season”.
