I have been looking for a book like this for a long time. Being a marathon runner is a specific sport, and Nancy does a great job of really laying out what you need to do to fuel yourself to be the best runner you can be. Sound advice, great suggestions, and even some delicious recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Runners of All Abilities, January 27, 2004

Nancy Clark has clearly written a book that will direct runners on the best way to set up your nutrition plan. I first read her article in Runners World Magazine in December 2002. It lead me to this book, and as a result I lost 13 pounds while training for a marathon. It is a common sense approach to eating for life. No protein overload! This is a must read for all runners!
