Run smart : using science to improve performance and expose marathon running's greatest myths

Summary/Review: The book draws on the author's experience as one of the UK's leading sports scientists, his extensive research background in marathon running, and his experience as a marathon runner, to provide credible advice to runners to support their preparation for a marathon. It also challenges many current concepts, myths and ideas, and provides science-based alternatives in areas such as training and nutrition that will optimise and ease a runner's preparation for, and completion of, the 26.2 mile distance.
