5.0 out of 5 stars
a good book for someone new to running,
By
This review is from: The Essential Marathoner (Paperback)
If you are new to running and your goal is finishing a marathon, this book is your choice. Like the name says, it gives you the essential information you need to know to train for a marathon and to finish one. It doesn't cover anything more than you need to know, so if you are not interested in reading that many books and just want to finish the marathon, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for first-timers,
By Greg Ritchie (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Marathoner (Paperback)
I used this book in preparation for the 2001 Detroit Marathon. The book guides you through the steps required in order to finish your first marathon. I felt confident throughout my training that I was preparing safely based on the material covered. I kept referring to the book at various points throughout the training period. The recommended training program works. I finished in 3:57 (chip) and am now looking for a program to improve my time.
