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.
