 Rating: - The Complete Guide to Marathon WalkingOutstanding, inspirational, informative. I read this when I was training for my second marathon. The author is humorous and inspiring, keeping the training fun and filling the reader with confidence to be able to complete a marathon. In addition the material and references are well researched. He brings years of experience to the reader, in a form that is understandable to a beginning marathon trainee, yet offers depth to a veteran walker as well. I read the book twice and will use it as an inspiration ... Read More Rating: - very inspirational for an ex-runnerI have been a runner for 30 years, and 10 of those were my marathon years. I did around 50 of them, including qualifying for Boston 3 times. So you can imagine how unhappy I was when injuries received on a 5 week hike kept me from running for an entire year. Well, that year is over, and I have found that walking doesn't hurt me, but running does. So logic is finally prevailing, and I am now a walker. But I refuse to give up my beloved marathons. This is where Dave McGovern's book has come ... Read More Rating: - Must-have resource, especially for newbiesI bought this book because I was about to enter my first half-marathon, and I grasped at every straw in getting prepared. I found Dave's book to be a terrific source of information, and it helped me think of a few things that helped me be prepared on race day. The section on walker-friendly marathons is a bit dated, but I used it as a springboard for my own research. Information on foot care, pace, recovery, fuel, etc. was all extremely pertinent, and very appreciated. Experienced folks probably won't find ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic, Fantastic, FantasticBefore buying this book, I'd heard about Dave McGovern, the author. It's all true. He's extremely knowledgable, has a very accessible writer style, and is goofy! I learned a ton, even after training with a group. I just finished my second walking marathon and intend to re-read portions of this book every time I prepare for a marathon. Rating: - The Complete Guide to Marathon WalkingThis book is very helpful for someone who has never done a marathon and now that I have one behind me, I'm using this to review and prepare for a second marathon. It covers everything from what to wear, eat, stretches, training schedule, injuries, recovery, etc. A great read! Browse for similar items by category:
