Synopsis
For many novice and even some experienced runners completing the 42.2 kilometres (26 miles) involved in running a marathon seems daunting and too difficult to contemplate. For those who have run a half marathon the thought of running two half marathons back to back may seem impossible. However this short book has been written to demonstrate that most runners can complete a marathon and then it provides the information about how to go about preparing for the event, running the marathon and recovering.
The book includes advice about:
- the long run;
- speed work;
- stretching;
- food;
- clothing and shoes;
- injuries (prevention and treatment);
- hydration;
- the taper;
- tactics;
- the race day; and
- recovery.
It also has a proposed three-month training program with day-by-day advice.
