 The Marathon and Half Marathon: A Training Guide
As this study shows, the popularity of the marathon and half marathon has increased dramatically in recent years. Growing numbers of people have become aware of the life-changing experiences and the health benefits that result from training for, and competing in, a 13.1 - or 26.2 - mile race. Notwithstanding this, these events are extremely testing endurance races and entrants need to be properly informed so that they can train and prepare in an appropriate way. This handbook discusses everything you need to know, including choosing the right clothes and running shoes, the importance of stretching and core stability, and even post-race nutrition and hydration.
Customer Review: Well worth the money - thank God for this book!
I bought this book in the UK last year after a recommendation from a friend, who said it was the top ranked marathon training book on Amazon in the UK. After reading it and following its advice, I can see why.
If you are new to marathon or half marathon running, this is the only book you need.
After I had my baby, i set myself a goal to run in my first marathon and this book helped me every step of the way. It has great pictures which help to break up the text and it’s easy and entertaining to read. It covers everything from training to nutrition to injuries and most importantly of all - it’s realistic. This book spoke to me far more than 3 of the top ranked books on the Amazon here and I’m amazed this gem of a book has not really been discovered yet.
I never thought i’d say this, but seeing that I enjoyed the last marathon so much I am now thinking of doing another one! I lost the last 20lbs of my baby weight last time, so it’ll be a great way to stay in shape.
So, If you want to enjoy your running and spend a little extra on a great marathon training book, you will not regret buying this. I think I’ll buy the author’s other book on fitness myths. If this one is anything to go by, it’ll surely be a great read.

 Marathon: You Can Do It!
Marathon running is a sport that many consider too daunting, better in the viewing than the doing.

Marathon! shows how just about anyone can run a marathon and, given the right attitude and training, finish the race. Galloway has designed a low-mileage marathon training program that has been used by over 10,000 people with a 98 percent success rate. The book includes the latest information on workouts, form innovations, pace charts, prediction tables, and motivation strategies.
Customer Review: Marathon, You Can Do It, great book!
I used this book to run my first marathon at the age of 50 in 2006 and successfully completed the marathon injury free. I bought two more copies for my daughters and we are going to run the Yakima, WA marathon together, this being a first time for them. I highly reccommend this book for anyone considerning a marathon. Success will be yours if you follow the training guides in the book.
Customer Review: Superb, Informative, and Practical
I am an author myself and first i must say that this is a well written and thorough book. I am training for my first marathon and absolutely love Jeff’s training plan and the Run/Walk strategy. It keeps me fit, motivated, healthy, and looking forward to my marathon. Thanks Jeff. Highly recommended for anyone interested in running.
