Last year, I trained and ran a half marathon. Injured myself in the process by going too far too soon - plantar fasciitis. This time I am (hopefully) wiser and going slower with my training this time around. Thank goodness for the practical advice and programs offered in this book. I am following the full marathon program offered for running/walking. So far, so good. This book is a read and follow for any planning on running, walking or running/walking a long distance race!

The style and storytelling abilties of John "The Penguin" Bingham is second to none. If you're a new runner of someone coming back after a long lay-off, this is the book that can get you started on the right foot.

I love the training journal. It is the first one that even allows me to keep track of all the running "stuff" but my food portions. It is 1 year long so you can start any time and go for 52 weeks. It has a great overview with place for goals and races you may want to try. Since I am starting over with run/walk at 65 it is revenant for any age. I only have good kudos' for it. Enjoy if you buy one. It does go with their book which I am also using.

I was very pleased with the condition of the book and the amount of time that it took to get here. Also, love the book!
