The Best Running Book Ever! February 10, 2010
Sanjai Banerji (Satna, India)
"Lore of Running" is the most comprehensive book ever written on running. Dr. Tim Noakes has covered every aspect of running both physiologically and psychologically. The eloborate training programmes for novice runners and advanced programmes for the elite runners are commendable. A must have for every runner.

This book is good for people who have a passion for running and want to know the ins and outs of the sport. The book is in very good condition and I received it quickly.
For enthusiasts only August 25, 2009

After reading the 900-page Lore of Running, there is probably no need to read any other how-to books on running because you will have heard it before. Like a steep uphill at the beginning of your run, Noakes starts off with how muscles work, oxygen transport, energy systems. The chapters are lengthy with many charts and graphs. The prose is like a medical textbook.
I might have organized the book differently. Chapters on staying injury free and running & your health are near the end of the book. I would have put that near the beginning. But one does not have to read the book in sequence.
This is not a good introductory book to running, but as was mentioned by other reviewers, a great reference or read for coaches or anyone else with a more in-depth interest.
Like the late great Ed McMahon would say, "EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about running is in this book".
Great book May 12, 2009

I haven't gotten much chance to read it yet, but it's a great book, especially as a reference.
Nothing like it. March 1, 2009

There's really nothing like this book in what I've seen. I'm not an ultra-long runner - in fact, I'm not even a good runner. However, this book has a deeply researched, referenced, scientific approach to exercise physiology that I've been unable to find in other literature. My science-oriented background yearns for something more than vitriol or practical advice, and this book fills that role no matter what aerobic sport you wish to pursue. Page after page reveals "aha!" moments where I find out what the various "lores" I've was brought up with have some merit, or where they fail.
