a lot of good information in this book. most of it I knew through my own research. main reason why I read this book is to learn how to fuel my body for race training and continue to lose weight. also got great info and tips on how to fuel pre and post race. of course I was doing it all wrong. good book for runners of all levels.

Overall, not bad. Quite a bit of the material was prior knowledge for me. However, there were some new insights, especially when it comes to fuelling pre and post-run.

Not a bad book but geared towards people that have no nutritional education and have not run before. I felt bored often as I was already familiar with everything in it.

Had I not already read "The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition" by Matt Fitzgerald I might have rated this book higher. "Run to Lose" is a very basic book on nutrition. And, you can find all of the same information in other Runner's World books.

I'd recommended "Run to Lose" for reader whose sole goal for running is to lose and maintain weight. Runners who are interested in achieving their ideal running weight would be better served by another source, such as "The New Rules of Nutrition".
