review 1: I am not a fan of memoirs, and read this specifically with hope of getting a few new tips on vegan eating for athletic performance. But I was pleasantly surprised by how well written and edited the memoir part of the book was compared to my expectations. About 3/4 of the book is the memoir, and the last section has specifics about the author's diet and training regime. Although I already have researched and read a fair amount about plant-based eating and nutrition, I still found some new ideas. There is also a good resource list for books and foods, and other favorite products of the author. I would not have minded if a few recipes were included, but the author and his wife had previously released an ebook with recipes, so the exclusion is totally understand... moreable.
review 2: This was a really good story until about half way through. I like reading about training tips such as running slower to increase miles, etc. But there came a time in the story that I felt he was trying to sell me his products, and he reaches an ability level in his running that average runners will not be able to relate to. Genetically he is superior than most, and I had a hard time relating to his struggles. less
