Book Description

March 15, 1993
Many training programs increase performance by sacrificing personal health, ignoring the body's important physical and mental needs, and, finally, leading to injury. Ultimate Training shows how to heighten physical stamina while increasing the well-being of the whole body. Null's comprehensive regimen offers specific advice about physiology, nutrition, and how to avoid injuries. It is also designed to integrate emotional, spiritual, and intellectual energy with the tough physical demands of long-distance running and race walking.

This book includes:

* Information on how to develop a holistic workout, regardless of age or physical condition
* A 28-Day Running Plan that can be incorporated into any busy schedule
* A detailed list of common running injuries, plus stretches and exercises to prevent them
* Key steps to improving the immune system
* An extensive nutritional guide

The founder of the Natural Living, Walking, and Running Club, Gary Null has developed a holistic running regimen that has been used by over ten thousand runners, including Olympians and triathletes. This is the first book on his increasingly popular training philosophy and it is geared toward a general audience.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The preface says it all: "What?! Another book on walking and running? Haven't we seen a glut of those in the last five years?" Yes, a thousand times yes, and this particular gift to the walking/running literature must rank as one of the sorrier contestants in the overcrowded pack. The book purports to "take a holistic approach" to walking and running "that encompasses our physical, mental and spiritual dimensions." Instead, most of its 200-plus pages are studded with profundities such as these: "If you run first thing in the morning, do not eat until after you finish your workout." (Presumably for runners tempted to down Egg McMuffins in mid-stride.) Or, "Remember that the primary purpose of food is to supply energy." And, "If your socks become thin or worn out, they may create blisters or fail to help absorb the shock." Moreover, "All runners need shoes with the proper width and sufficient toe room to prevent rubbing and other irritations." Unfortunately for runners who pick up Null's Ultimate , some irritation from the obvious is all but certain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book! Changed my life..., July 26, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ultimate Training: Gary's Null's Complete Guide to Eating Right, Exercise, and Living Longer (Paperback)
I would like to thank Gary Null for getting this book out to the public. It's helped me get back my health. I'm 54 and could hardly walk a 100 feet before starting these exercises. I'm walking 3 miles daily now and have lost 70 pounds and I owe it to Gary's advice from this book. The book breaks down each exercise routine into east to follow steps and gives plenty of great info about diet. I would also like to point out a rather suspicious review from Publishers Weekly. This review slams this book and I really don't know why. The complaint seems to be too much information for advanced runners. Well if you're an advanced runner any book for beginners to advanced will have info in it that's covering what you already know. I believe this is just another establishment crony looking to take a shot at a leader in the alternative medicine and holistic health field. Thanks again Gary
