I've completed two marathons and used this book for my second marathon training program. This is a spectacular book. So good that I've recommended it to serveral friends. What differentiates this book from most running books is the variety of programs for different race types (10k, 1/2, full) that are offered. Also, it provides programs in either miles or km. I'm now training for my third and am pushing for a more challenging time. The book is my bible!
It works, 'nough said

I've gone to a person who would hyperperventilate on a one lap run, to a comfortable 10 k runner in less then 6 months. I it ALL to this book. Not only did his workout plan keep me interested, and more imporatantly EASY while I progressed, but it taught me how to do it right, without a single injury. If I got meet the author, I would kiss him. Great book for bigger runners, I've recommended it to all my friends, who are currenlty doing their first 5 k race this weekend.

I've found help for helping me get to my first marathon

I just wish I'd found this book a few days earlier before I overtrained and injured my knee. This book answers the many questions first time marathon hopfuls (like me) might ask.
