About this listen
There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.
Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy-to-understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism, and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach. Dr. Bubbs expertly brings together the worlds of health, nutrition, and exercise, and synthesizes the salient science into actionable guidance. Regardless if you’re trying to improve your physique, propel your endurance, or improve your team’s record, looking at performance through this lens is absolutely critical for lasting success.
Please note: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great broad approach to fitness performance.
Very detailed collection of performance related knowledge. Narrating was a bit robotic though but is understandable for the scientific based audible book. The information provided is broad on the sport spectrum and I myself would have liked more specific athletic based information. However the detail provided is very informative. I would have liked to see the books chapters divided up better. It would be hard to find specific information if you wanted to go back and look something up.

Probably better in hardback
As a strength and conditioning coach, I absolutely loved this book. My low overall score has more to do with me than the book. I personally found it hard to absorb this and found myself having to re-listen to segments over and over again. I think this would be better in hardback.

A book to read rather than listen to!
Very informative but delivered in a thoroughly dull scientific manner. Difficult to follow at times without digesting what had been said and hearing the section multiple times. Where are those pdf supplements?!

Very interesting
Probably more useful for pro and semi pro's. Still interesting for the amateur athlete too

Extremely useful
Good insight into different factors that affect performance, all supported my a vastly detailed scientific explanation. Many practical suggestions, but if you are not one for detail, then some parts might be a bit overwhelming. Highly recommended, if you are an athlete or are training athletes on any level.

sports nutrition
I found this book to be heavily about sports nutrition which is interesting but not what I was looking for. lots of data moved through quickly. not an ideal listen. last few chapters have more psychological aspect of performance.

Not suitable as an Audi book
As per several other reviews the narration is very hard to listen to but I did get used to it.
However, the contents are very detailed and lots of numbers and ratios quoted for nutrition etc that are hard to absorb in audio format but can be underlined and highlighted in hard copy. This book is really fir the elite, very serious sportsperson or professional practitioner.
There is a heavy reliance on ‘evidence’ that in places I am sure will be disputed in time as science progresses.

Not worth the money
The chapter about sleep was interesting, but the rest of the book can be summed up into "just eat healthier". Also has a very privileged point of view.

outdated
this book is a lot about nutrition, unfortunately only a regular meat eating diet and a meat eating keto diet. I'm a plant based / vegan which is very popular these days and it doesn't mention athletes on these diets. I think this book should be updated
