 Cut through the media ads and hype...GET THIS BOOK!! |
| Review Date: July 18, 2010 |
| Reviewer: tri-daddy, |
| Stop wasting time reading ads about the next new product to help you shave time off your run/bike/swim/etc. Get this book. Be sure to read, then re-read, Part I & II. Really understand these parts, then jump to the chapters about formulating a training and racing diet. Then go back and re-read Part I & II again. Without a thorough understanding of the science behind REAL nutrition (not magazine ads), it's too easy to slip back into bad habits. Anyone serious about improving training effectiveness and race-day performance should have this in his/her library. |
Not bad

| Reviewer: David Kwong, |
I'm a distance a runner and I care about my nutrition, but what I don't care about is the inner science behind it. What I wanted was a reference guide to tell me what foods I should eat with maybe a BRIEF explanation why I should care to eat it. I don't want chapters and chapters of food sciences! Just tell me, eat X, Y, and Z, which will help you with A, B, and C with regards to distance running or any endurance sport. I don't want to know about lipids, amino acids, blah blah blah. If I was a food science expert, it would make sense to me but since I'm not, I feel like I'm reading through my college textbook.
I did enjoy the tables in most of the chapters where certain foods were listed in order of how much of a particular ingredient they had (e.g. Omega-3, protein, carbs, etc). If the entire book was just a bunch of those tables along with one or two paragraphs of why those are good for you, I would've enjoyed reading this book much more. Instead, I had to put it down after about 1/3 of the way. |
