I was always looking to start running out side the gym but I was always looking for a training guide, finally this book helps to improve my running ability. It's almost like having a personal trainer side by side. Will definitely recommend for those who want to start amateur running
The most comprehensive training guide available! April 22, 2008

This book contains everything you could possibly need to know about training for a marathon or half marathon! It covers all the aspects of preparing for a race with helpful and useful advice and provides week by week training plans to follow. All in all an excellent companion for any runner looking to do a marathon or half marathon, I would highly recommend this book especially to first timers.
Realistic and motivational April 5, 2008

I am pretty much a novice to running but, having put on too much weight after my two kids were born and wanting something to aim for I have signed up for a half marathon later this year. I bought this book hoping for practical advice which would enhance my understanding of how to train and what to expect along the way.
For me this book provides all this and much more. It is aimed at everyone, whether you're a seasoned runner or a complete beginner. It is extremely readable and covers all the main topics in clear language (although a note about whether or not to train through colds etc would be useful for future editions...) It is informative without being dictatorial in its tone, and I felt that the author was very 'tuned in' to most of the questions I would have asked him if I had the benefit of his company!
I'm also find reading the book really motivating - maybe because it's because it's such a practical, useful guide. He acknowledges the big challenges but makes you feel like you can overcome them.
It's early days for my training but it's going well - in no small part thanks to this book.
Excellent! February 27, 2008

A comprehensive, well- written, well- researched book that covers all aspects of training for a half or full marathon. I would highly recommend.

This is the best running training book I have come across. It doesn't just apply to marathons - could easily apply to 10k's as well. Chapters are all well laid out so you can simply jump to the section that is relevant to you. If you are worried about your knees or are wanting a really appropriate training regime this book has it all thought through for you. No myths or beating about the bush - it tells you how - or perhaps how not... you can get through it.
