Synopsis
Inspiration to lead you to a healthier lifestyle. In her mid-forties, Ruth Heidrich was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing a double mastectomy, she challenged herself to the punishing Ironman Triathlon, a test of endurance involving a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon run. Twenty years later, Heidrich is still running, cancer-free, and positive about life. This is her story. She describes her fight with cancer, the healing powers of proper nutrition, and the rewards of running the toughest races in the world. The author offers a step-by-step routine for running, swimming, biking or training for competition. She includes tips on making time to exercise, how to increase one's speed or distance and how to avoid injuries.

Inspirational!
12. Februar 2001
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you're looking for inspiration to lead you to a healthier lifestyle, you'll find it in this book, an autobiographical account of Ruth Heidrich's amazing journey from breast cancer and a double mastectomy to radiant health through a low-fat vegan diet and extensive fitness training. Contrary to medical advice, after her mastectomy, she immediately resumed running and refused treatments of chemotherapy and radiation. Instead, she chose to work with Dr. John McDougall on in experimental diet program. One of the first changes she noticed after starting a vegan diet was improved race times. She soon added biking and swimming to her regimen and in four years, she completed her first half marathon. Ruth's health and fitness level only went up from there to find her today as one the world's most impressive athletes. She completes an unbelievable four triathlons a year (for a total of over 60 races annually!), was inducted into the Gold's Gym Hall of Fame and, in 1999 was included in Living Fit Magazine's list of the 10 fittest women in America. Ruth is in her 60's now, and she's in better shape physically and emotionally than most people half her age. She travels the world today, running races, speaking, and inspiring young and old to take food and fitness seriously. She is a glowing example of the healing power of the human body when it is treated with the utmost respect.

Very inspirational
29. Dezember 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I found the start of this book, which is a brief story of the author's life and healing from cancer through diet and natural means to be very inspiring. What she has gone through, what she has learned, and then what she has accomplished is truly inspirational and something we can each learn from and use in our lives.
The rest of the book discusses various items of health and training, perhaps written more for the person new to the search for answers about health, training, and cancer in this confusing culture. I have been involved with triathlon for a couple of years now, and been on a plant based vegetarian diet for about six. And definitely sold on both of them for improving the quality of one's life.
I would also like to recommend a couple related books on health and the prevention/curing of cancer. Those would be John Robbins books "The Food Revolution" and "Reclaiming Our Health".
A couple recommendations for the athelete would be "The Inner Athlete" by Dan Millman and Dave Scott's "Triathlon Training". Dave's book is a little outdated, but inspirational as well since he has won 6 Ironman championships on a vegetarian diet, and also took 2nd by mere minutes when coming out of retirement in his 40's!

Disappointing
22. Juli 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This book had a lot of hype. The book was not what I expected. This is really more of how to triathlon book than anything else.The cancer and the food changes are mentioned but exercise is really the main focus. I think the regular reader would definitely have trouble relating to this book.
