Book Reviews of Marathoning for Mortals
Book Review: Recommend for first time marathoners!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a runner for 13 years and am finally running my first marathon. I got this book out of curiosity and fell in love with it. It's a great motivator and perfect for first time runners or those new to marathons such as myself. There is a lot of great information and tips that I never thought of and think will be extremely helpful in my training (such as the seriousness for rest days, nutrition, fueling, etc). I feel more prepared now. The authors are humorous, honest and down to earth. I really enjoyed this book and reference it often during my training. I highly recommend it to anyone training for their first marathons!!!
