<description>&lt;p&gt;July 2025, Black Cats Run Founder and Host, Tristan Black-Ingersoll will be releasing his book &lt;em&gt;The Blood and the Rain&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the audiobook preface to &lt;em&gt;The Blood and the Rain. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It introduces the core argument of the book: that endurance performance isn’t limited by physiology alone, but by the brain’s regulation of effort, fatigue, and threat. The book builds on ideas explored in &lt;em&gt;Black Cats Run&lt;/em&gt;, challenging modern training paradigms and offering a new framework for how athletes improve.  It also introduces the Multi Scalar Endurance Model (MSEM) which argues for a more nuanced and pedagogical approach to training.  It builds on many of the ideas of the podcast, but it introduces completely new material. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The book will be release for Kindle, paperback, and later this summer as an audiobook.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paperback will be on sale for $29.99.  But if you contact us directly via our Instragram page @Blackcatsrun you can get a signed copy for $17.99. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy. &lt;/p&gt;</description>
