Not your usual cookbook,

This review is from: The Runner's Cookbook (Paperback)
I can imagine, in the big corporate publishing cubicles, someone saying, "We need a cookbook for runners. What athletes' pictures can we put next to these recipes?" And that's nothing whatever like The Runner's Cookbook, which might be the most honest cookbook you'll meet about runners. It's a hundred-plus pages of athletes telling us about their favorite "real" food (one recipe by an Olympian who will remain un-named by me includes the instructions, "follow the directions on the box", and another recipe is purposefully vague about how much of a bottle of beer goes in the recipe and how much is consumed by the cook). The athletes included range from Olympic medalists and national record holders all over the world (at least two former World Record holders that I remember) to American up-and-comers.
The proceeds go to the Jenny Crain Make It Happen fund and the Ryan Shay Memorial Fund, but that shouldn't be the reason you get the book; it's just evidence that the editor was more interested in sharing this book than lining her pocket. You could write those organizations a check. Get the book because it's worth it, and see a side of professional athletes you otherwise might not.

Not what I thought,

This review is from: The Runner's Cookbook (Paperback)
I guess I was delusional in buying this cookbook after reading all the reviews. I am training for a marathon, and I already weight train 3 days a week. I was hoping for a cookbook with healthy recipes, as well as, recipes that fuel me for my marathon training. This cookbook definitely is neither. If you are looking for a cookbook that is healthy, this is not the one. At least it went to a great cause. :-)
