This newest addition to the heralded Runner’s World series offers runners up-to-date nutrition advice based on the latest science
Runners have different nutrition and recovery needs than other endurance athletes. Yet until now, they’ve had no nutritional resource specifically addressing their concerns.
This comprehensive guide distills the newest thinking in the science of exercise nutrition into practical, hands-on tips that will help runners stay healthy, recover faster, enjoy better workouts, and race successfully. Readers will learn:
• detailed information on nutritional topics important to runners, from balancing internal energy stores to proper hydration
• how to customize their diets to their individual training needs
• shopping tips and dining-out strategies to help runners maximize their nutritional intake
• the top 5 pre-race meals and top 5 healthiest snacks for runners
• nutritional tips for special populations, including women, children, diabetics, and older runners

 Stick to nutrition, not evolution January 25, 2010

This would be a great book if they stayed on the nutritional needs of a runner instead of our ancestors needing certain fruits & vegies when they diverged from chimpanzees. On a whole this book tells us we need to eat & live as the chimpanzees did/do because we are the offspring of these monkeys. Now if the reasons behind their studies are not human satudies but that of monkeys then I for one can not go by their guidelines. This book should be about the needs of a runnere not a book saying we should all be an atheist. I threw my copy inb the trash, save your money & buy a book on nutrition only.

This is a good book filled with advice for beginners. If you are just starting to run or have been running for a while and are looking for ways to improve your diet to excel your running, this is a great book for you. Runners who have been at it for years will take little away from this book because most know what works best for them already and the suggestions in this book will be old news. Beginners: take the information from this book and find out what works best for you.

There is certainly a lot of useful information in this book. The info on sports drinks and recovery principles is most helpful. However, I found it a bit disorganized and sometimes I felt the author glossed over certian things while going into unnecessary detail in other areas. His chapter on body composition rambles on and on about what percentages of each tissue are optimal to have and then concludes that it doesn't really matter as long as you are basically healthy. In the beginning he criticizes many other approaches as being nonscientific but his own conclusions can verge into that same realm sometimes too. Also, I had just finished reading the Complete Book of Women's Running by Dagny Scott Barrios (which is a GREAT book) and found that much good scientific information pertinent to women that I read in that book was not included in this book.
This book definitely seems like the best resource out there for performance running nutrition, but I would take it with a little grain of salt sometimes (gotta get those electrolytes anyway, right?). And if you are female, I would also get the other book mentioned above because it is a wonderful compliment.
Great info for runners November 4, 2008

Writing a book on nutrition has got to be one of the hardest because everyone has their own opinion. However, this author did a good job of presenting facts and offering up suggestions on how to improve your running while not forcing a particular opinion on you. I found the advice to be sound and definitely recommend.
