The realms of biochemistry, nutrition, physiology and psychology are made accessible to the athlete in a text which has been written for anyone wishing information on the scientific basis of athletic training and performance. The authors have produced an up-to-date and readily comprehensible work that should appeal to athletes at any stage of their careers, as well as coaches and physicians. It is also intended to help students of sports science, in particular those who do not have a strong background in science. Features include high carbohydrate recipe suggestions for athletes, practical training schedules and a comprehensive bibliography.
I was always mystified why my body would refuse to work properly after running 20 miles. At first I thought that I was not made for Marathon running. Then I read 'Keep on Running' and it all became clear. Without this book, I would have given up Marathon running. But now I know how to manipulate my metabolism correctly in order to be a well conditioned endurance runner, I no longer fear anything over 20 miles.
