Finally... July 17, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
... A book that comprehensively covers the physiology and biochemistry of running. The volume is exceptionally well written, also a first for a book about the science and theory of running. There are some issues with redundancy and some parts of the book that seem a little out of place (training plans to Walk/Run a 5k?). I think if the reader is interested in this level of detail, that they have most likely been running for some time. Some reviewers complain about the long chapter on the history of great runners. The book is, however, called the "Lore" of running - not the 'science of running.' I found that particular chapter to be especially motivating, personally. As the tagline suggests, this book is a MUST for the serious runner or coach.

I have really enjoyed this book. If you are tired of scratching the surface of running in other books and want to know more about the different theories of chemical processes, theories on how your muscles work, how fatigue develops, significant figures in running history, and several different theories on training for various distances, this may be the book for you. Very thick read, something for everyone, but maybe too much for the novice. Almost a novel of academics for a college course. Great book. A must for a serioius runner's bookcase.

Essential advice is offered along with science that challenges the most commonly held exercise beliefs. All runners should own this book.

This book is the best running book I've ever seen. The author is a scientist and also a runner, he challenges the most common believes but also explain them in details leaving the final conclusion to the reader. This book is a MUST HAVE for any serious runner and coach.
