1 week after abusing my leg in a marathon, reservist, and another 15km run all within a space of 1 week, i am still feeling the after effects.
Meanwhile i am taking some time out to do some reading.

although it is easy to get info here and there on the web, nothing beats getting information from a good book.

The first book i'm going to introduce is starting strength.
had i have this book when i started out, i would save hours of trial and error in the gym. this book teaches u the correct form of doing the major and basic lifts such as deadlifts, squats, power cleans, bench and military press. A must for anyone who is starting out.


Reading this guy's articles on t-nation just makes me want to read his book. I picked up this book to learn about programming (designing a training program) and i'm not dissappointed. not only tells u how, but also why.


Last but not least, I am highly recommending this book - chi running. i am a chinese, and i am highly sceptical about an ang moh writing about running in a tai chi style. But I must say this book teaches me a super efficient way of running. it goes into the finer details of how to land ur foot, how to breathe. in short, please read the book.
