Product Description
Product Description
"Nutrition for Marathon Running" describes how the "running body" works and explains why performance in a marathon is so highly influenced by what a runner eats and drinks. The special dietary requirements of vegetarians, females, veterans, and diabetic runners are all covered, as is information about running in hot and cold climates. By the end of the book, readers should be in no doubt just how important diet is in the training for, and running of, a marathon.

I bought this book when training for my first marathon but only got round to reading it after I'd run that marathon. If you want to know more about how to enhance your performance through diet then this book is excellent. It provides information for all runners, of any standard who train at different times of the day. It discusses nutrition through training up to the week of the marathon, the day before, race day & recovery.
Although I appear to have been naturally doing most of the right things, I have already made a few subtle changes and have noticed a difference. Have also picked up some helpful snack ideas which I'd previously not discovered. I'm now hoping to put the theory into practice in preparation for my next marathon.

The information in this book is very good and useful. As a reference book I would strongly reccomend it.
The only down side is that it is quite old fashioned in terms of writing style and layout. There is nothing to enhance the reading like colour photography for instance.
Still does what it says though.

This book delves into the subject of long distance running nutrition in detail, and is a great book in conjunction with Advanced Marathoning.
