Review: Excellent book, my only nitpick is the nutrition section - Excellent book. I just got into running recently, at age 39. I learned a lot from this book. Well written and highly educated authors. Great warm-up exercises, strength exercises, and training plans. Clear explanations of common running-related injuries, how to prevent them (mostly by strengthening your hips and other large muscle groups!), and how to rehabilitate from them. Great explanations of the physiology of running, and great illustrations. Visually beautiful book. Good and balanced discussion of forefoot strike vs heel strike pattern, although the forefoot partisans will disagree of course. Two nitpicks: For a better perspective on nutrition, read Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy. Science of Running suggest a low-fat diet, but actually diets containing moderate amounts of plant-based fats have been shown to be equally or more healthy in general than low fat diets. I'm not an expert on running, so maybe this doesn't apply for peak running fitness, but I'm skeptical of their nutrition perspective. They might also be a bit behind the latest research on lactic acid buildup. It doesn't actually work how we thought it does for many years. These are nitpicks that don't really detract from the overall excellence of the book. Review: Good to know this - Great book if you want to know certain things about the body and how it works . If you run or walk. Or have any pain, you can figure out why or how it’s happening. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #14,083 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Triathlons (Books) #18 in Running & Jogging (Books) #21 in Sports Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,203 Reviews | ## Images ![Science of Running - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gIgMBV20L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, my only nitpick is the nutrition section *by N***N on April 7, 2024* Excellent book.
