In this essential reference guide, Dr. Barry Sears provides you with the Zone resources and Food Block information you need to make every meal a Zone meal, including:

. How to use and adjust Zone Food Blocks to fit your own unique biochemistry

. Zone Food Blocks for every ingredient imaginable, including vegetarian and nondairy sources of protein

In this completely revised and updated new edition of the classic text on running, Galloway includes training schedules for 5k, 10k, and the increasingly popular half-marathon races, as well as recent insights into motivation, nutrition, and fat burning. Runners at all levels will benefit from this seasoned athlete's wisdom.
