About the Book

A long-time runner and keen student of the art of running, Dr. Bala Naidoo has written this book on the importance of nutrition for runners of all levels. Based on many recent studies, the book informs runners of the types of nutrients needed, how much and when they should be consumed prior to a run or during and after a race. What role do carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants play? Do you need sports drinks or is plain water good enough? What is the best time to refuel after a race? Can you over-hydrate? Answers to all these can be found in these pages. The serious, competitive runner will find tables which will enable them to calculate their nutrient needs based on their weight, the distance run and the speed. The recreational runner will find broad guidelines and advice which will benefit them, not only in terms of increased speed but also more 'comfortable' running. Dr. Naidoo has, in addition, included information on the number of calories needed for running various distances as well as how to get them. A selection of sample breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks, with the corresponding nutrients and calories, round off the book. This is a book all runners should read and ... re-read!
About the Author: After spending 33 years as a Chemistry Lecturer at Montreal's Dawson College and John Abbott College, together with short stints in the Chemistry and Food Science Departments of McGill University, Dr. Bala Naidoo retired in 2005 and settled down in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. Dr. Naidoo started running in the early seventies and has not stopped since! Both he and his wife Pauline are members of the Ladysmith Striders. They take part regularly in the Vancouver Island series of races and the British Columbia Seniors Games. Combining his passion for running with his long-standing interest in nutrition, has given rise to his new book: Food 4 Fast Feet. Dr. Bala Naidoo is the author of two other books on nutrition: Nature's Bounty: Why Certain Foods Are So Good For You (ISBN: 1-55430-015-0) Nature's Bounty: More About Foods For A Longer And Healthier Life (ISBN: 1-41961140-2) Both books are available at www.amazon.com and other retailers.
