1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment - better books out there!, March 5, 2009

This review is from: Running and Fatburning for Women (Paperback)

As someone who has run 2 marathons and 5 half marathons using the Galloway training method, I was excited to receive this book as a gift. As I read it my view changed. I was extremely disappointed with this book. There were numerous typos, which made me think that the book had been hastily put together to make a quick buck. Many phrases and tips are repeated throughout different sections in the book - adding bulk but no substance. Information was also inadequate and inaccurate - such as a comment that appeared repeatedly along the lines of any fat you ingest goes directly on your body - which is misleading - we all need fat to survive. The cardio (run/walk) program was for extreme beginners with a plan of trying to work up to a very low number of minutes of excercise. I wouldn't even recommend this book for beginners as I'd be leery that they'd receive incorrect information that would be a detriment to their health goals.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not about running, December 21, 2008

This review is from: Running and Fatburning for Women (Paperback)

I was excited to see that the book was written(after loving his "Marathon!" book) but after reading it I was very disappointed. This book has practically no information about running in it. It seems geared more for women who are very overweight (not just wanting to lose the last 5 or 10 lbs) and for women who don't run-which is very deceiving given the title of the book. If you are already a runner, this book is not for you.

Information in book is very helpful for beginning runners. Seasoned runners already know most of the information contained in the book. It would have been nice if they had included actually recipes or daily suggested menues.
