Summary: A traumatolgist...Part II
Comment: I think that George's point is that calling yourself a "tramatologist" doesn't mean a thing. I study trauma too...but that doesn't make my review of a heart-rate training book any more valid. My review was based on facts. The book isn't that great...for the reasons I gave. I can even be more specific about my reasons. Note: saying it is "fun" and "informative" means absolutely nothing...just like saying, "I'm a tramatolgist." (sic) And that would be...a MD? PhD? BA? A mail-order degree? Think about it... The book isn't terrible and I'd recommend going to the library to check it out if you're looking for a cursory introduction to heart-rate training...but I wouldn't buy it. By the way, Sally's book isn't that good either.

Summary: JUNK
Comment: I have been interested in improving my performance for years, and finally decided to take the plunge and look into heart-rate monitoring. This book does not really support a specific philosophy and who knows if the so called "science" is supportable. I also read "Heart Monitor Training for the Compleat Idiot" by John L. Parker and recommend it. It appears much more scientific and emphasizes recovery over training in a zone. Don't buy this book. Rory Donaldson [email protected]

Summary: The book that finally got me running successfully.
Comment: I do inline skating, skiing, and weight training, but every time I tried to take up running, I would hit a wall. I just couldn't run for long sessions, and after a few I would hurt something and give up. Then I read about Ed Burke in Outside. This book, along with Burke's "Optimal Muscle Recovery" (I tore an Achilles tendon and developed plantar fascitis from skating and skiing) and "Stretching" finally got me to understand that I wasn't building the base I needed in order to run better. By following the training programs in this book, I've greatly increased my capacity without injury, and am slowly seeing my speed increase. Also liked this book because it took a different approach for each covered sport, and it treated inline skating with the respect it deserves as an endurance activity.
