Summary: 5 Stars
I've read scores of running books and nothing compares to this one. It addresses every conceivable topic -- from training to injuries to equipment to nutrition -- with insights synthesized from the best scientific studies, leavened with the author's own intelligent extrapolations. The biographical analyses of history's greatest runners also happen to be immensely absorbing and entertaining.Book Review: Best book on Running!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a broad, sweeping view of running, primarily from the marathon and up. Noakes covers history, physiology, current runners, ethnographic issues, and several other topics. It is very readable and each chapter is well edited, so that it can stand alone.
Noakes own views also comes through - over-training did in Bedford and Hill. My only comment is that over-training does in every runner, but perhaps this is the cost of burning brighter rahter than longer.
There are several other subjects that can be lumped into all the other various purveyors of training thought - Hadd, Lydiard, Daniels, Canova. They are all directly or indirectly addressed here.
This is the ONLY comprehensive text touching on virtually the entire spectrum of issues surrounding running which I have found. Noakes has his opinions, but this in no way detracts from this fine read.
