3 out of 5 stars Very general   April 18, 2008
The book is very practical for somebody that is only beginning to dabble in running. For everybody else, a lot of the information is way too general and can easily be found elsewhere. I also would have liked to see more recipes in the book and less advice along the lines of "do not try food before a Marathon you haven't tried before", that is way to obvious for me.


5 out of 5 stars Colorful AND Informative!   July 31, 2007

Finally a nutritional guide for marathoners! And one that is written to the reader and not in scientific lingo most of the public cannot understand. This book is definitely easy to read, not full of text, and filled with colorful, appllicable pictures. I love how Nancy highlites certain information and puts it into charts and paragraphs away from the main text so it catches our eyes. Nancy tells us all we need to know about vitamins and supplements, dispells myths about carbohydrates and tells us exactly what to do the week of the marathon. I would reommend it to any of my clients!

5 out of 5 stars Great for all active people   April 26, 2007

You don't have be be a Marathoner to benefit from this book. Once again, Nancy Clark shows that it's easy to be fit, eat well -- and go beyond. For those who are - or aspire to be - marathoners put this on the top of your list. The book is full of easy-to-understand information. The photos are beautiful, and the layout makes it a joy to use. I think this is a great book for anyone who wants to eat better, and who likes to cook easy, wholesome recipes. Go for it!

Nancy Clark hits another home run with her latest sports nutrition book. She covers everything a marathoner needs for optimum nutrition during training, the night before the big day, pre-race guidelines, hydration and fuel during the marathon, and even recovery from training or the event itself. If your goal is to complete your first marathon, set a PR, or end the race feeling great, Clark's book gives you the tips and guidelines you need. It's written in a friendly style, like sitting down and talking with a good friend; of course it's a friend who is one of the most well-known sports nutitionists in the country!

I had the pleasure of attending a talk by Nancy Clark recently and got a copy of her latest book (to go along with several of her books already on my bookshelf). As usual, I was not disappointed. Though I have never (and will never) run a marathon, Nancy's practical tips and super-simple recipe ideas are applicable to recreational athletes like me as well. From basic information on how to steam a vegetable and choose a good breakfast cereal to deciding on sports drinks and pre-exercise and recovery meals, there is something for everyone. Nancy Clark's Food Guide for Marathoners is a must read for any athlete who wants to fuel their body for better performance.
