Book Review: 26 Miles To Boston - The Boston Marathon Experienced From Hopkinton to Copley Square
Summary: 5 Stars
When I qualified to run my first Boston Marathon I was given a copy of this book. I had never been to Boston prior to the race.
I used this book to write my plan on how I should run the race. Each mile the author describes the rich history or the area, runners and insight on how to run the race.
This is a must read for first time Boston Marathon runners!
