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.

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.

Great broad approach to fitness performance.

Informative

The book introduces a lot of ideas in an accessible way, and promotes the idea of being an ‘expert generalist’. It promotes the importance of sleep and recuperation, and, interestingly, how embracing a bit of suffering is what creates the stimulus for the body to get stronger during recovery.

Covers a multitude of elements that affect performance- linking fields that have been separated be specialisation.

I often give 5 stars to books I’ve enjoyed- this deserves more… such useful information at high density, spanning a vast gamut of related domains in sport science. Coupled with Marc Bubb’s other book (Peak 40) this is a pair I’ll come back to multiple times

Superb

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.

Extremely useful
