《The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition》书籍简介：

Every year, roughly 2 million people participate in marathons and half marathons in the United States, and, no matter what level they are, every one of these runners has likely hit “The Wall,” running out of muscle fuel in the final miles and slowing down precipitously. This setback and other common running disappointments are nutritional (or metabolic) in nature. In The New Rules, renowned fitness journalist and training coach Matt Fitzgerald cuts through the myths,distilling the most up–to–date science to help runners overcome the universally experienced nutritional barriers that prevent success in the marathon and half marathon.

From basic tenets of training to nutrition guidelines, The New Rules is the first resource for runners to fully integrate nutrition with training for a complete and systematic preraceplan. Fitzgerald’s powerful and easy–to–use tools will enable runners of all levels to attain their ideal racing weight, calculate their precise daily energy needs, and formulate a custom nutrition plan.

《The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition》Review

Library Journal, March 2013

“Extremely well done… A must for marathoners!”

Portland Book Review, 4/21/13

“You will gain valuable information and insight about how to fuel your body from this book.”

San Francisco / Sacramento Book Review (website), 5/9/13

“Written in a friendly and approachable manner and colored with many anecdotal stories from elite running history, this book is an easy and informative read that can help propel your runs to the next level.”

WomanAroundTown.com, 9/7/13

“Fitzgerald gives sound advice to conquer the obstacle that blocks many runners from finishing their race…If you know a marathoner, you’ll make a fast—very fast—friend by gifting this book.”

RunnersWorld, 12/17/2013

“[Fitzgerald’s] perspective on hotly contested topics in sports science is always well-informed, practical, and leavened with enough skepticism to avoid jumping on and off every passing bandwagon…He's entirely reasonable in differentiating between proven ‘you must do this’ tactics, and more speculative ‘experiment with this if you're interested’ tactics…A nice intro to endurance nutrition.”

《The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition》读者评论：

This is simply amazing. This was my 6th marathon, and I had bought this book about 10 days before the race. I followed 5+1 carbo loading cycle, and it helped. For a first time, running a marathon I was feeling great all the way through. I ran almost even splits of 1:49:XX and 1:51:XX, posting a new personal best of 3:41:09. In fact, I even managed to increase my speed in the last 5k after a reasonably conservative mid-section.

Of course, sports nutrition and especially race nutrition is something you'd want to experiment with to see what is right for you - things differ for different athletes. This books describes various alternatives and suggests some reasonable choices.

I'd highly recommend to read this to everyone.

The book shines the light on good foods with an emphasis on the value of vegetables and fruits. Whole foods, so to speak. The most valuable section for me was on getting lean - not just losing weight. I have fallen into the trap of just eating whatever I can find (or crave) because "the furnace is burning hot so it doesn't matter what I eat..." Wrong. I am following this in my current marathon training and just finished a 60 mile week with no problems (previous high was 45).

One line that made me scratch my head a little was this gem: "Peanuts, which of course grow on trees........" Um, Matt, peanuts are a legume not a nut and they grow in the dirt!

Aside from that "oops" of a line, the book is a winner.

I'm new to running ... only been at it now for just over a year. I've done 3 half marathons and am training for a full marathon in April. I've struggled balancing my diet with the energy I need for the long slow distances that are involved in the half and full marathon trainings. After reading this book, I realized my overall calorie intake was too low, but most importantly, I was consuming more low quality foods than high quality, and my carb intake was well below where it needed to be. Everyone knows that it's better to eat more veggies and fruits than candy bars and french fries, but I've always struggled with my weight. Thus, my diet revolves around lower carb and higher fiber and protein choices. The problem with this approach is I was depriving myself of the "quick, easy to access energy" and my body was constantly having to gain energy from fat stores. What I like best about the book is it breaks everything down and it's very simple to understand - and you don't have to count calories or serving sizes. It's a simple "tally" system that allows you to see at the end of the week, how many fruits and veggies you actually ate. I also had no idea I was not fueling properly during my long slow runs (over 2 hours). I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to shed a few pounds while also training for longer distance runs. It is absolutely amazing and has truly changed my outlook on carbs!
