5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must For Marathon Walkers!!, January 14, 2003
By kdfw61 (Cocoa Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews
I read and reread this book several times during the 5 months of training for my first ever marathon. I completed the Disney Marathon 2 days ago and put Dave McGovern's training tips to the test. I can tell you they are tried and true!!! I never once felt like I was going to hit the wall, was injury free and had alot of fun.

This book is full of info on buying shoes, stretching, nutrition, race day strategies, training schedules, what to do before, during and after the marathon and lots of laughs. There are also testamonies from marathon walkers as well as lots of info about walker friendly marathons nationwide. His writing style is so personable and warm you almost feel like you're having a conversation with him. As far as I'm concerned he's my coach. I wouldn't even consider letting go of my copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dave Gives Great Advice!, May 24, 2001
By Shelly Stewart-Dugan (Queen Creek, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a great read! I really enjoyed all of the tips and hints that Dave gives throughout. As a Team In Training member I thought I had learned a lot, but after reading Dave's book I really added a lot to my bag of tricks. If you are serious about doing a marathon this book is a definite must!

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Doubt You Can Do It, READ THIS BOOK!, May 6, 2004
By Tim Dutton (Upper Hutt, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
If you have any doubts about whether or not YOU can walk a marathon, read this wonderfully inspirational book by Dave and your doubts will vanish. Dave is an excellent writer as well as an excellent coach. There is so much of value in here that you'll be able to benefit hugely even if you have walked a marathon before. I've just let a friend borrow my copy and he told me he has already got some ideas for his next marathon, and he's walked 11 of them before!!!
