2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing Jan 19 2008
By Sarah Elaine Eaton
Format:Paperback
This book is thick and looks meaty, but half of it is comprised of training programs.

The author cites numerous "studies" but rarely, if ever, tells the reader what the names of the studies are, where they were conducted, or where the results were originally published. Simply saying "Studies show that..." or "A study done is (insert place name) revealed..." wears thin after a while. The book lacks a proper bibliography or list of references.

This author clearly has a lot of experience and wants to share evidence to support his claims. Most of the evidence is based on his personal experience or anecdotes, rather than science.

I found the book easy to read and follow, but I would have liked more evidence to support his claims.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth owning Dec 13 2008
By Tim Koop
Format:Paperback
I found this book quite helpful. The 'proprioceptive cues' were some of the most helpful tips I have come across to help my running. The explanations really clicked for me. Following this has helped reduce my recurring shin injuries by helping me concentrate on maintaining good form (as well as increase my average pace).

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant insights Sep 17 2009
By running tall
Format:Paperback
I'm a runner - a few marathons, 1/2's and 10kms - and i first bought the author's book on "performance nutrition for runners" and was so impressed that I wanted to read everything else i could find by him. Far from disappointed, i was very impressed by the ideas discussed in this book and have started using many already with positive results.
