This book is perfect for inexperienced athletes like me. Nancy understands our struggle to eat healthfully in fast-food America. -- John "the Penguin" Bingham, Columnist, Runner's World Magazine

Product Description
This book is a guide to winning nutrition for both first-time and inexperienced marathoners. Clark writes this book from her passion for teaching the everyday champions that we all are how to use food to help achieve our marathon goals. She combines her personal experiences and professional expertise to teach us to eat well and enhance our energy. We learn what, when and how to eat to enjoy not only the process of training for the marathon, but also participating in the marathon itself with energy to spare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice, September 28, 2005

By	T. Brown "runner girl" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

By A Customer

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!
