3.0 out of 5 stars
Its okay, wanted more information, July 20 2010
This review is from: Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy (Paperback)
The book is okay. Unfortunately one of the reviewers were right. It is really written for some one who has not had a child already and who has not read What to Expect When Expecting. It was more of a pregnancy guide, than a runners pregnancy guide. I was wanting more than I could find reading articles on the internet. But it really isnt more. But nevertheless it is nice to have, but now I am still looking for a book on the effects of running and pregnancy indepth and different suggested schedules for pregnant runners.

A good reference, April 27 2004
This review is from: Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy (Paperback)
I found this book to be easy to read and full of advice based on the latest studies. I enjoyed the book because it is the most comprehensive reference on current information about running and pregnancy I have found.
The book is written by a woman who has run with two pregnancies, and is full of stories from other women who have run with their pregnancies. It talks about their experiences, motivations, and suggestions/cautions. The book also provides material about how running and conception interact, diet, strengthening exercises, stretching, and the truth about aerobic exertion during pregnancy.
As a runner, I think the book is an excellent addition to my pregnancy book collection, and recommend it to all similar runners who are thinking about or have become pregnant.
