Anyone training (or even thinking about training) for a marathon.
I was well into my training when I read this, so I didn't use it to help set up my program. What I did use it for was many of the other great helpful hints it provided -- like making sure you've tried everything you might use in the marathon (including your clothing and fuel). It also helped answer some very basic questions -- like what if I need to pee during the race? It's an easy, informative read, and the author offers some great anecdotes from his own personal experiences.
I used this book to prepare for the 2009 Baltimore Marathon. A clear, simple, detailed guide in how to effectively train for a marathon. He provides training schedules (exercises / running) for beginning, intermediate, and advanced runners. A year later, I still reference this book to improve my running.
This is a wonderful guide for anyone planning to run a half or full marathon! Mr. Holland gives tips for training, injury prevention, what to expect, what to do on race day, etc. He addresses all areas of a big race, and does so with authority and experience. Highly recommended for runners!
Hard to believe this book is for triathletes. Seems far too remedial for that level of competition.
Interesting book on running a marathon or half marathon. I am considering running both in the future. He has some very good tips and includes some training programs to help prepare runners for the long mileage and endurance required.
I read this book and I ran my first marathon this year. It was useful. I found the running schedule for beginners very practical. I wish he had had more details in some parts of the books specifically when he was talking about diet.
If you are planning to run a marathon for the first time, I highly recommend this book. It is not as inspirational, but extremely practical with great advice and tips!
This book is great for runners with 0-tons of experience.
OK so I do NOT have the time to do this but I am valiantly trying.
