5.0 out of 5 stars JNBissex, April 16, 2007
By Janice Bissex (Melrose, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had the pleasure of attending a talk by Nancy Clark recently and got a copy of her latest book (to go along with several of her books already on my bookshelf). As usual, I was not disappointed. Though I have never (and will never) run a marathon, Nancy's practical tips and super-simple recipe ideas are applicable to recreational athletes like me as well. From basic information on how to steam a vegetable and choose a good breakfast cereal to deciding on sports drinks and pre-exercise and recovery meals, there is something for everyone. Nancy Clark's Food Guide for Marathoners is a must read for any athlete who wants to fuel their body for better performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Clark's Food Guide for Marathoners, April 21, 2007
By Lynn Grieger (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews
Nancy Clark hits another home run with her latest sports nutrition book. She covers everything a marathoner needs for optimum nutrition during training, the night before the big day, pre-race guidelines, hydration and fuel during the marathon, and even recovery from training or the event itself. If your goal is to complete your first marathon, set a PR, or end the race feeling great, Clark's book gives you the tips and guidelines you need. It's written in a friendly style, like sitting down and talking with a good friend; of course it's a friend who is one of the most well-known sports nutitionists in the country!

5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful AND Informative!, July 31, 2007
Finally a nutritional guide for marathoners! And one that is written to the reader and not in scientific lingo most of the public cannot understand. This book is definitely easy to read, not full of text, and filled with colorful, appllicable pictures. I love how Nancy highlites certain information and puts it into charts and paragraphs away from the main text so it catches our eyes. Nancy tells us all we need to know about vitamins and supplements, dispells myths about carbohydrates and tells us exactly what to do the week of the marathon. I would reommend it to any of my clients!
