I haven’t had a chance to read the whole book however what I have read has been helpful and informative. The book itself was shipped in excellent condition and, like many of the books I’ve bought through Amazon, I think I purchased it used and it looks new. And, I don’t plan on just using it to balance out my washing machine

Readable and good technical information combined with intersting stories to illustrate the points being made.

As a newer long-distance triathlete, I found the information in the book to be very useful. It is well written and provides a reasonable approach to tackling nutritional challenges I face.

Being an endurance athlete, nutrition is as important as training itself. That is why, every athlete has the responsability to take charge of their own health and safety, meaning every athlete must know enough about nutrition to understand your body. You can have help from specialists, but the responsability is always yours in the end.
When I bought this book, I also bought two other books on Endurance Sports Nutrition. Although the other books where good, this one excells!
This is one of those books that are, in one word, COMPLETE. Like the “The Lore of Running” is the definitive book for running, this is the definitive book for endurance nutrition. I figure the author decided she didn’t want to write more books on the subject, so this one has everything. There is knowledge for Ultramarathons, Multiday events and even for dealing with altitude.
After reading it, I feel like my previous experience in sport was like a blind chase.
Excelent. Bravo.

I found this book to be well written and factual. I like the care Eberle has taken to cover the pros and cons, risks and rewards, of various common methods and dietary recommendations. In the section on dietary supplements Eberle says “When it comes to deciphering health claims, a healthy dose of skepticism and a bit of common sense can help steer you through the maze.” that sort of good judgment is typical here. I think a lot of crap (correction, I should say pseudoscience) has been written on the subject of sports nutrition. Eberle helps you sort out what is based on the evidence and what is not. I like that and recommend this book. The title says it all.
