Book Review: Everything you ever wanted to know
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very detailed and very useful book. It has a lot of information covering many endurance sports in detail - running, cross-country skiing, cycling, triathlon, swimming (not so much an endurance sport as endurance training). It even explains the background behind performance enhancing supplements and drugs (legal, illegal; proven, unproven and unlikely). There has clearly been a lot of research talking to actual participants in the sport.So why only four stars? I am English/European and have a scientific background. Therefore, I was constantly driven mad by US measurements (cups of food and ounces of drink) and the mental gymnastics to interlink between metric and imperial systems (5.5 grams per pound of bodyweight for example). Another American/European divide is the thought of using "hot cider" as a warming alternative to an alcoholic drink. The author has clearly never tried walking or talking after a few pints of authentic farm scrumpy.
Cultural differences aside, I am treating the book as a reference guide and bible as I finally understand what carbo-loading is all about and the importance of recovery nutrition in the two hours after a long run.
