Nancy Clark has become one of my favorite nutrition authors. This book is easy to read with basic nutrition advice in the first section. The second section consists of nutrition enhancing, simple to follow recipes that do not require much time or fancy ingredients. I tried many different banana bread recipes from different cookbooks and found the one in this book not only the easiest, but also the best tasting. When I can't decide what to eat I pull out this book and always find some inspiration.

Ten years on and I still think this is the best when it comes to running nutrition and diets. The energy bars beat any Powerbar in my book, and the energy drinks and simple and useful. I use it from time to time to re-evaluate my diet based on how much I'm running. Love to see it updated!

I like the recipes (since they are so easy) and the history behind the New York City marathon. How it started and who started it. I also like the tips on what to eat and when during your training cycle. Lots of emphasis put on carbs which these days we avoid like the plague, but since I started adding more into my diet I feel much better. This book made me feel like I'm not alone in my new found stomach issues when running. Lots of tips and just all around good advice that still holds true so many years later.
