Book Review: First Rate
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book, well written, interesting, informative and relevant. It has caused me to totally change my running stride and to discover at age 50 a whole new approach that I would not have imagined.
The mechanics of running are related to barefoot running and avoiding heel striking and using the glutes in preference to the quads and hamstrings. I've been working at adapting my lower leg muscles to this for over a month now and it is working. It makes running much more enjoyable and stable - even running on trails. The explanations are detailed and complete.
The advice on training programs is also very clear with a few key messages that come across well - principally most people train most of the time at a moderately intense level that achieves very little other than tiredness and de-motivation. The book gives the solution and a lot more.
The nutritional advice is outstanding. I have read quite a few books on glycemic load, insulin resistance etc. but this book adds simple and powerful facts to greatly clarify the issue of fuelling and body weight control.
