 Indoor Rowing Endurance April 20, 2008
Mr. V. Brunning (Plymouth, UK)
I have been taking indoor rowing seriously for over 4 years now. I currently hold two World and one British record. Over my many hours of training I have had plenty of specific questions about endurance nutrition. I ordered this book in a hope to clarify my many queries, it has answered EVERYTHING i want to know in detail and more! It provides a long and very detailed aproach to nutrition and I was suprised at the detail it went into with my sport aswel.
I haven't finished the book yet but I've found I'm constantly flicking through the paging and will do so for a long time as a point of reference.
I would recommend this book to any serious athlete and any aports enthusiast!

This is a very detailed and very useful book. It has a lot of information covering many endurance sports in detail - running, cross-country skiing, cycling, triathlon, swimming (not so much an endurance sport as endurance training). It even explains the background behind performance enhancing supplements and drugs (legal, illegal; proven, unproven and unlikely). There has clearly been a lot of research talking to actual participants in the sport.
So why only four stars? I am English/European and have a scientific background. Therefore, I was constantly driven mad by US measurements (cups of food and ounces of drink) and the mental gymnastics to interlink between metric and imperial systems (5.5 grams per pound of bodyweight for example). Another American/European divide is the thought of using "hot cider" as a warming alternative to an alcoholic drink. The author has clearly never tried walking or talking after a few pints of authentic farm scrumpy.
Cultural differences aside, I am treating the book as a reference guide and bible as I finally understand what carbo-loading is all about and the importance of recovery nutrition in the two hours after a long run.
