Description: New. "At the end of every marathon training run, I recite the Penguin mantra: 'The miracle isn't that I finished, it's that I had the courage to start. ' I thank John Bingham for bolstering my courage and helping me run, literally, for my life. "--Jessica S... read more
"High on inspiration, solid on strategies. A lot of reviews peg this for beginning runners, but because it's more narrative than encyclopedic (look somewhere else for complete information on pronation, gear, etc.), and because it's about (half) *marathons*, for goodness sake!, I think it's better for a semi-established runner but an uninitiated long-distance racer.
I've started comparing training schedules and I am intrigued by their focus on cross training.
"Great training plans for all levels of fitness. Finally a training plan for normal runners not trying to kill themselves to run a half or full marathon."
"I enjoyed the book. I think it will be a very helpful resource for my training. I didn't agree with everything said in the book, especially in the gear/gadgets section. In the later section of the book, the tone seemed to change. While I think the authors' love of running came through the entire time. The latter half of the book, the tone changed slightly and I got the impression they were talking more to people who weren't starting out from ground zero but to those who were already running."
"Good basic running info for us average-joes. The philosophy is different than ChiRunning--which is more aligned with my personal philosophies. It does have different running schedules and I am following one of them right now--so far so good."
