Description
A deep dive into saunas, cold plunges, and other training and recovery techniques as they apply to female physiology I was reading these perhaps 2 or 3 at a time, over a period of three days and I can quite happily say they are a very cleverly put together set of stories, by what is clearly a highly imaginative and intelligent author, who can see things in a rather unnusual way. Balter, Ariel. "A book review by Ariel Balter: Roar: Thirty Stories, One Roar". New York Journal of Books . Retrieved 17 May 2022.
In this singular and imaginative story collection, Cecelia Ahern explores the endless ways in which women blaze through adversity with wit, resourcefulness, and compassion. Ahern takes the familiar aspects of women's lives—the routines, the embarrassments, the desires—and elevates these moments to the outlandish and hilarious with her astute blend of magical realism and social insight.I really enjoyed the story of 'The Woman Who Forgot Her Name' and particularly liked the story 'The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared'. After fading away to just a glimmer, the woman finally finds hope in the care of a doctor who provides a diagnosis and treatment plan:
Cecilia Ahern was one of the feel good writers for me, whose books I read and felt light and happy. However, reading Roar was a revelation to me and something I definitely did not expect. Admittedly, it's somewhat discouraging reading her book in the sense that you feel that women's physiology works against them in so many ways. I like the positive attitude of the book, and the focus on hydration and electrolyte intake for women, since women store electrolytes differently than men but the topic is rarely discussed, if ever. The groundbreaking book that revolutionized exercise nutrition and performance for female athletes, now freshly updated An updated action plan for peak performance across all phases of your menstrual cycle, as there is never a bad day to perform at your bestI'm very pleased to have been able to read this book and it really is all about the power of women.
Having completed over 56 Ironmans, I can say with certainty learning how your body reacts to high endurance training and racing never stops. It’s discouraging to prepare for a race and have it derailed, not because you didn’t do the work, but because your body didn’t respond on that particular day. Dr. Sims will show you how you can take the steps to toe the start line with the best chance of delivering your maximum potential!” —Meredith B. Kessler, professional triathlete The reason my guts are a mess after races is all that Gu. Maltodextrin is awful for the stomach. She provides some tangible alternatives. Cecelia Ahern has taken a different direction in her writing with this feminist collection of short stories that celebrate women in all their glorious diversity with every story title beginning with The Woman Who. The book begins with the following epigraph: This revised edition includes a wealth of new research developments, expanded recommendations based on those findings, and updates to reflect the changing landscape of women’s sports, including:The collection opens strong with The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared. The premise is very reminiscent of the season 1 Buffy episode Out of Mind, Out of Sight, about a high school girl whose peers never seem to notice her, and who ends up becoming invisible. In this story, the main character is a woman in her 50s who has gradually faded, becoming less seen over time as she ages, becoming unnoteworthy to the crowds of people around her: Roar is a sharp, creative collection of short stories that highlight all the responsibilities, expectations, and discriminations that society places on women, as well as the self-reproach, pressure, and need for validation we as women place on ourselves. There is some really solid information. However, like some other reviewers have noted, she sometimes slips into pseudoscience and presents possibilities as facts. I hope there will be more books like this in the future, because while some information is useful, other parts are questionable. I'm just saying. I mean, there were female dinosaurs, too, you know, and I don't think any of them were pink."
Sims talks about a vegan triathlete client getting too much fructose and the steps she took to move her to higher protein and lower carbs. The interesting thing in this part of the book is that she gets her client off fructose and keeps her consuming vegan protein -- BCAAs or "whole protein". Does she mean soy? Because that's not recommended even by her for its low leucine content. Plant-based protein doesn't jibe with recommending better quality and more protein as we age. But then, I ran across more oddness as I read.If you are a woman who is into fitness, whether new to it or fairly well acquainted, chances are that this book will have something for you. Currently, Apple TV+ has only directly adapted 6 out of the 30 stories in Ahern's book. Whether or not Roar becomes a massive hit on the platform, this means that there's more than enough material in Ahern's book for several seasons. For now, there's no word yet on when Roar season 2 will be officially released. Society told you that you weren't important, that you didn't exist, and you listened. You let the message seep into your pores, eat you from the inside out. You told yourself you weren't important, and you believed yourself."
