Book Reviews of Lore of Running, 4th Edition
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book because I'm told it has everything about running. It does, but, as a beginner, it's not what I was looking for. It doesn't advise so much as educate. I can now tell you all about pronation and the history of waffle treads, but I'm still not sure what my next pair of shoes should be.
Excellent and thorough book though. I've read much of it.
Book Review: Substance, Facts, Form and all, simply awsome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book not only contains all you need to know about running but also goes into great medical and scientific details. Dr. Tim Noakes is a true schollar of sports science and had managed to blend the experience of many elite athletes together with medical research and scientific fact into a compact journal - the true Runners Bible!Book Review: More info than you can shake a stick at
Summary: 5 Stars
The only downside to this book is that the amount of information is overwhelming! If you have any questions about what makes and keeps a person running, it is in here.
That said, everything is explained beautifully. The biggest benefit of this book is how simple Dr. Noakes makes these very complicated topics seem.
Book Review: The Best Running Book Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Lore of Running" is the most comprehensive book ever written on running. Dr. Tim Noakes has covered every aspect of running both physiologically and psychologically. The eloborate training programmes for novice runners and advanced programmes for the elite runners are commendable. A must have for every runner.Book Review: Excellent source of information for runners
Summary: 5 Stars
Tim Noakes book is well written and packed with information. He backs up everything he says with numerous references to scientific studies. I bought it because I wanted to read the chapter about running injuries. This book is not casual reading, but it has lots of good information.
