"The author willingly shared his poor training habits. I think that helped tremendously in illustrating how working harder is not neccessarily the best way to acheive your running goal."
"I am almost done with this book and know I will refer back to it many times. It's all about the experience of running & movement & not performance. He gives great advice for everything from shoes to nutrition...it's all about what's right for your body. Makes daily fitness accessible & non-intimidating no matter what your fitness level. Will buy this book for friends!"
"I got a lot out of this book. It details the Low Heart Rate training program make popular by Dr Phillip Maffetone in "The Maffetone Method", but Mittleman takes this program a step further and gives practical ideas how to incorporate this program into your life. He dedicates sections to training your mind, your body, and your diet to have as much energy as you need.
The nutrition recommendations are pretty severe (no sugar at all!!) but I have little doubt that they would be effective. I'm not ready to adopt all of the proscribed maxims in my diet, but I will cut and paste various ideas to improve my diet. I got the most out of the section detailing training your body for long-distance events. I have adopted his low HR training method into my training regime and have enjoyed results so far.
I would recommend this to anyone who is frustrated with their current exercise program, injured, burned out, or wants to start losing weight.
