Customer Review: Received used book in place of a NEW edition
I believe I ordered a new book and not a “Used but looks like new”. I received a used book and don’t htink I will ever go with this particular seller again and would recommend you to do the same. The name of the seller is Kerbearstats.
Customer Review: A Life Changing Book
This is a book that can change your life. On the surface this book is about “harnessing chi” to improve your running, but it’s more about developing proper technique and developing your run into a meditative experience. This book helps you develop proper foot strike and position, leg bend and swing, posture, lean, arm swing, breathing, focus, developing speed and distance, as well as how to focus your mind on the run and improving. The authors also cover basics of stretching, hydration, nutrition … everything you need to drastically improve your run. I’ve been running for four years and have suffered through painful knees and lower back spasms without any significant gains in speed or distance, but in the month since reading this book I’ve nearly doubled my weekly average and the pains are gone. Truly a life changing book.

Customer Review: Outstanding Training Guide
This book is the finest Marathon Training Guide I’ve seen. It is written for any level runner from first time Marathoner to experienced veteran. The author explains in an easy to understand format the reasons behind his system. This system works! The better job I did of following the book the faster my times dropped. I’ve taken over 30 minutes off my marathon time in a 2 1/2 year period. The book has easy to follow running schedules for a wide variety of training circumstances.
Customer Review: Great book if you want to train seriously for a personal best
I really can’t say enough good things about this book. I’ll start by saying that having just followed the “below 70 miles per week” training plan pretty faithfully, I just lowered my personal best in the marathon by 19 minutes, breaking 2:50 for the first time. I also actually enjoyed running the marathon, right to the finish, did not hit “The Wall”, and sustained my highest weekly mileage ever without sustaining injury. I attribute a lot of this success to this book.

Dave Scott’s Triathlon Training Customer Review: A bible for athletes
This is sinmple a must read for any one wanting to do a triathlon…no matter what level you are.

It could do with a little up dating as it was written in the 80’s but this really shouldnt put you off…buy it, read it, get fit!

Customer Review: In Depth material
This book may not suit a beginner or first timer triathlete…but after saying that…there are wonderful bits and pieces that would be helpful. But reading it from beginning to end would be too detailed for those just wanting to get to the finish line (I recommend “triathlon 101″).

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine, Fourth Edition This new edition guides you through anatomy, types of injuries, and suggested treatment and rehabilitation programs for sports related injuries in 12 anatomic areas.
Customer Review: Great teaching text
This text was essential in helping me teach our student athletic trainers. It was very well written and should be a model text for every sports medicine/athletic training program. The authors did an uot standing job. By far, the best athletic training text I have ever used.
Customer Review: Good Overall Review of Sports Medicine
This text provides a good review of sports medicine and rehabilitation of common injuries for the medical professional. Very readable–a good start for those interested in musculoskeletal medicine and athletics. The chapters are well organized and well-referenced. I think this is one of the better sports medicine books available.
