    3 out of 5 stars Common Knowledged packaged for newbies...   August 23, 2010
    T. Morken (California)
    This book will be helpful to beginning athletes or those who have been training awhile but have no idea what they are doing, or have never approached an endurance sport in a serious way. It takes concepts that are commonly known by experienced athletes and puts them in one publication. Everything here can be gleaned from other readings but this at least makes it convenient. I can't find anything here that I either hadn't learned myself or learned from others over the past 30 years of endurance racing, from swimming to cycling to running or even backpacking. If you've been at it a long time in a serious way you already know everything that is presented in this book and probably could add a few things of your own.


    5 out of 5 stars Excellent book, research focused   August 16, 2010
    Itty
    This book is an easy read that summarizes current information about weight management. The insights are researched based (and quoted) so that you can follow up as you wish. The author puts forward his own proposal, and is clear that it has not yet been "tested", although it's based on the inisghts from research.


    4 out of 5 stars Great Tips for Any Athlete   August 2, 2010
    Kirk
    Matt Fitzgerald really breaks down what sometimes can be confussing and complicated diet and fitness tips. Great advice on suppliments!


    2 out of 5 stars Nothing New   July 23, 2010

    Oh my what a disappointment this book was. I can honestly say that I did not learn a thing, except for what some famous runners eat. There are pages and pages of detailed information and studies that I will never read again. I have been running for fun for a few years and decided this year to start getting serious. I was hoping that this book could help guide me to eat more effective foods for a runner. Perhaps if I spent all my time eating junk food and candy bars, this book would have been helpful. I certainly will never buy a book from this author again, as he clearly did not have anything new or useful to say.


    4 out of 5 stars Real results after employing the knowledge obtained in this book   July 12, 2010

    I've seen real results using the knowledge I obtained after reading this book. The sections on 'when' to eat as well as the section on supplements (including what he uses) is worth the price alone. The writing is also simple enough and doesn't devolve too much into scientific studies that it loses your attention. Highly suggested for any kind of endurance athlete.
