Customer Review: Outstanding Training Guide
This book is the finest Marathon Training Guide I’ve seen. It is written for any level runner from first time Marathoner to experienced veteran. The author explains in an easy to understand format the reasons behind his system. This system works! The better job I did of following the book the faster my times dropped. I’ve taken over 30 minutes off my marathon time in a 2 1/2 year period. The book has easy to follow running schedules for a wide variety of training circumstances.
Customer Review: Great book if you want to train seriously for a personal best
I really can’t say enough good things about this book. I’ll start by saying that having just followed the “below 70 miles per week” training plan pretty faithfully, I just lowered my personal best in the marathon by 19 minutes, breaking 2:50 for the first time. I also actually enjoyed running the marathon, right to the finish, did not hit “The Wall”, and sustained my highest weekly mileage ever without sustaining injury. I attribute a lot of this success to this book.
