Review: Excellent book, my only nitpick is the nutrition section - Excellent book. I just got into running recently, at age 39. I learned a lot from this book. Well written and highly educated authors. Great warm-up exercises, strength exercises, and training plans. Clear explanations of common running-related injuries, how to prevent them (mostly by strengthening your hips and other large muscle groups!), and how to rehabilitate from them. Great explanations of the physiology of running, and great illustrations. Visually beautiful book. Good and balanced discussion of forefoot strike vs heel strike pattern, although the forefoot partisans will disagree of course. Two nitpicks: For a better perspective on nutrition, read Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy. Science of Running suggest a low-fat diet, but actually diets containing moderate amounts of plant-based fats have been shown to be equally or more healthy in general than low fat diets. I'm not an expert on running, so maybe this doesn't apply for peak running fitness, but I'm skeptical of their nutrition perspective. They might also be a bit behind the latest research on lactic acid buildup. It doesn't actually work how we thought it does for many years. These are nitpicks that don't really detract from the overall excellence of the book.
Review: Absolute MUST for Runners that seek scientific approach! - very nice book extremely good illustrated with the chapters covering all topics from basic understanding of motor activity to anatomy of movement, anatomy of running, anatomy of injuries, basic injury prevention and useful action plans for 5k, 10k, 21k and full marathon preparation! all at all very nice & useful book
