I haven’t had a chance to read the whole book however what I have read has been helpful and informative. The book itself was shipped in excellent condition and, like many of the books I’ve bought through Amazon, I think I purchased it used and it looks new. And, I don’t plan on just using it to balance out my washing machine
.
Readable and good technical information combined with intersting stories to illustrate the points being made.
I found this book to be well written and factual. I like the care Eberle has taken to cover the pros and cons, risks and rewards, of various common methods and dietary recommendations. In the section on dietary supplements Eberle says “When it comes to deciphering health claims, a healthy dose of skepticism and a bit of common sense can help steer you through the maze.” that sort of good judgment is typical here. I think a lot of crap (correction, I should say pseudoscience) has been written on the subject of sports nutrition. Eberle helps you sort out what is based on the evidence and what is not. I like that and recommend this book. The title says it all.
I’ve been running since I was in high school and continued during and after graduationg college. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to run my first half marathon. I have read lots of material on training and nutrition, but none have been as complete and informative. The first eight chapters are devoted to all endurance athletes. The last few chapters are each devoted to a particular endurance sport. This book has taught me how to fully prepare and train to successfully reach my goal. I would suggest this book for anyone interested in endurance sports.
Suzanne knows her stuff. I’ve been an ultrarunner and endurance athlete for nearly 25 years and I find Suzanne’s wisdom and advice both on target and incredibly helpful. In fact, as I get older, which I am, her advice is seemingly even more relevant. Following her advice on everything from hydration to nutrition to stretching has been vital to me being able to keep doing what I love to do. The bottom line is that proper nutrition is key to optimal performance and the information in this book can ensure you’re geting both.
