    <body><![CDATA[Finished this one.  I think it will be helpful to me at least getting out there and starting to run longer distance.  Really lays out common mistakes and how to avoid them. I'll be sure to update the review when I actually start working on the training plan.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this book was fantastic! I have thought for awhile now that I would like to run a 1/2 or full marathon but have kept it at bay, as a dream, at best. After reading this book, it definitely seems more feasible. There are lots of training plans and advice for everyday people who are not runne...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13100590">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good book, especially for first-timers. Has tips, training schedules, and what to expect while training for, during the race, and after the race. Training for a race is as much a process as it is a goal, and this book helps one learn how the body adapts and gets used to the miles.

    <body><![CDATA[A little more watered-down than most marathon how-tos (and I've read a few), but also funnier.  The personal stories are relatable--especially a few weeks into training--and the advice is 90% sound (I wear cotton and they're against it, but the differences are personal like that).  This and the Non-...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4698217">more...</a>]]></body>
