Summary: Revolutionize your health and fitness!
Comment: This book is extremely valuable for those who wish to take a look at fitness and health at a different level. The author advices people to do certain things to burn fat as a fuel for energy rather than burning sugar(which most atheletes and sportsman are still doing, which gives them muslce pain for days after their exercise). Be a FAT BURNER, and stop being a SUGAR BURNER! Burning fat gives you more stamina and energy to last longer, and without any pain caused by lactic acid in the muscle ( which is a sign of sugar burning). It will revolutionize your beliefs on fitness.

Summary: Interesting, but not too useful
Comment: As a runner and triathelete I thought that I would be able to gain some insights into running, training, and weight management from reading this book. Despite the fact that parts of it are interesting, I was not able to get any new or useful information from any part of the book.
Being an ultra-runner is certainly something that amazing to any runner, but I was looking for a little more sport physiology theory, and a little less "dumbed down" information.

Summary: Focus on the process
Comment: Contrary to the title, for me this book was more about finding the JOY in running and less about buring calories. By changing my thoughts and form while running I immediatly found myself able to run farther and enjoy the process more. This book is about getting away from delaying happiness until some long term goal is met and about enjoying the expirience of exersizing. You will not find a 16-week marathon program in this book.
I did invest in a heart rate monitor, as strongly advocated by Mittleman. While I have found it to be very useful and believe me gauge me level of effort during my workouts, I do not see it as a must. I believe Mittleman's other suggestions on how to gauge your level of effort, including using visual clues and breathing, to be as much if not more useful.
Reading the book did improve the expirience of running for me, no doubt. I had trouble, however, with Stu's dietary suggestions. They seem extreme to me and, while I 100% believe they work for many individuals, there is not enough how-to in that section for me. That is Stu's way though, he believes we each should find out own way- including deciding which exersize programs are right for each of us- and that I do appreciate.
