by Jeff Galloway

Description
Marathon running is a sport that many consider too daunting, better in the viewing than the doing. Olympian Jeff Galloway dispels such notions in a book that takes the mystery -- and misery -- out of distance running. 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 show more latest information on workouts, form innovations, pace charts, prediction tables, and motivation strategies. show lessTags

Although I'm not enticed to try Galloway's walk/run method (yet!), I learned a lot about training sensibly for my first marathon in this well-written and informative book.
A classic with some great advice, but very repetitive and out of date, especially with regard to diet.
