Book Reviews of Lore of Running, 4th Edition
Book Review: Everything you wanted to know about running
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covers it all. From what is happening to your body on a cellular level, to injury prevention, to training programs, to what to wear, this book can tell you. It is also a large enough book that you can probabloy use it for bench pressing.Book Review: Excelente libro y sumamente completo
Summary: 4 Stars
El Dr. Tim Noakes realizó una soberbia recopilación de información. Creo que todo entrenador y corredor serio debe tenerlo.
El único inconveniente es que no tiene las referencias impresas (hay que buscarlas en el internet)
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book because I'm told it has everything about running. It does, but, as a beginner, it's not what I was looking for. It doesn't advise so much as educate. I can now tell you all about pronation and the history of waffle treads, but I'm still not sure what my next pair of shoes should be.
Excellent and thorough book though. I've read much of it.
Book Review: Excellent source of information for runners
Summary: 5 Stars
Tim Noakes book is well written and packed with information. He backs up everything he says with numerous references to scientific studies. I bought it because I wanted to read the chapter about running injuries. This book is not casual reading, but it has lots of good information.Book Review: Finally...
Summary: 5 Stars
... A book that comprehensively covers the physiology and biochemistry of running. The volume is exceptionally well written, also a first for a book about the science and theory of running. There are some issues with redundancy and some parts of the book that seem a little out of place (training plans to Walk/Run a 5k?). I think if the reader is interested in this level of detail, that they have most likely been running for some time. Some reviewers complain about the long chapter on the history of great runners. The book is, however, called the "Lore" of running - not the 'science of running.' I found that particular chapter to be especially motivating, personally. As the tagline suggests, this book is a MUST for the serious runner or coach.
