Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Useful and practical
This book was far more useful than I expected. It describe all nutritious needs for a runner from beginner to elite, step by step and with details in a very friendly and understandable language.
It affected my running performance and changed the way I fuel my body to a healthier manner.
Rating:  - Excellent Book for Focus on Running Performance
I saw the reviews on this book and then checked it out from my library (with intentions to order it very shortly as it's a great reference).

Rating: - Love Runner's World Nutrition

Rating: - excellent advice for any runner
I'm about 3/4 of the way through this book and the advice that Matt supplies is extremely eye opening. I never knew drinking during your workout was so important.
This book is written from a very down to earth point of view. I felt like a coach or a friend was giving me advice. After reading most of this book I went ahead and ordered both the EFS (formerly E3 as mentioned in the book) sports drink and the Ultragen recovery drink. I'm completely convinced by Matt's detailed explanations that these products ... Read More
