This would be a great book if they stayed on the nutritional needs of a runner instead of our ancestors needing certain fruits & vegies when they diverged from chimpanzees. On a whole this book tells us we need to eat & live as the chimpanzees did/do because we are the offspring of these monkeys. Now if the reasons behind their studies are not human satudies but that of monkeys then I for one can not go by their guidelines. This book should be about the needs of a runnere not a book saying we should all be an atheist. I threw my copy inb the trash, save your money & buy a book on nutrition only.

Fitzgerald offers a good overview of various nutrients and their role in race performance. The short coming of this book is that it doesn’t offer specific menu plans. Great title, just falls a little short of being truly helpful.

I’m about 3/4 of the way through this book and the advice that Matt supplies is extremely eye opening. I never knew drinking during your workout was so important.
This book is written from a very down to earth point of view. I felt like a coach or a friend was giving me advice. After reading most of this book I went ahead and ordered both the EFS (formerly E3 as mentioned in the book) sports drink and the Ultragen recovery drink. I’m completely convinced by Matt’s detailed explanations that these products are really targeted to maximize your body’s needs.
Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is an avid runner. It will help you understand how certain foods and nutrition can help your body as a runner.

This is a good book filled with advice for beginners. If you are just starting to run or have been running for a while and are looking for ways to improve your diet to excel your running, this is a great book for you. Runners who have been at it for years will take little away from this book because most know what works best for them already and the suggestions in this book will be old news. Beginners: take the information from this book and find out what works best for you.
