    Great help - worked for me (3'53"30''')
  

*by B***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2008*

I'm not a die hard runner by any means, but desired to run a sub-4 hour marathon for my first marathon.  This book helped me with confidence and a concrete plan for training.  It isn't so complex that you need to incorporate blood testing, heart rate monitors, etc. (which are probably important as you advance).  This is a basic plan that tells you the workouts you need, food to eat, and how to prepare.  If the training is too hard then you probably need to establish a better base or revise your goals.I didn't do all the training because after I got about 10 weeks into the plan I had two 'back to back' sciatica attacks (the second had me on the floor for 60 hours in pain).  I was in fear that I wouldn't finish let alone run sub-4.  I believe the basic endurance gained from the plan allowed me to achieve my time.  I was worried the training wasn't tough enough, but followed it to the letter (when I could due to my back).I previously researched other plans online (Higdon's and others) but they only showed mileage to run and didn't tell me about pacing which is extremely important!Summary: this book keeps it simple and to the point.  If the title is your goal you would be foolish not to get it.  Good luck regardless.P.S. I ran the Grandma's in Duluth June 2008.  A fast course, beautiful views of the lake, awesome support, and a great local crowd.  Highly recommended race!!!

    Great Little Book!
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2012*

I have been following the FIRST training method for my upcoming marathon.  I thought I would get this book to see how it compared to FIRST.  I found that it is basically the same principle behind training as the FIRST program.  Only this book was so easy to read and so much more understandable!  Although it's a small book, it is full of information that is written so someone who is not a health scientist can understand it.  It only took me about an hour to read.  It not only talks about the idea behind the three key runs each week, but also talks about the right kind of nutrition to use in training.  I also explains the reason why you need to have two pairs of running shoes for training.  I highly recommend this book, not only for those who are training for a four-hour marathon, but for any long-distance run!

    Recommended for the first-time marathoner
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2009*

I have had this book for quite a while but held off on writing a review until putting it to the test.  I ran my first marathon this month - the New York City Marathon, at age 61.  My personal target was 4:30 and I succeeded in just beating that.  I used many sources of inspiration and information, some printed and the others verbal or web-based.  This book, which intrigued me, was one such source.It is a short book (about 100 pages).  It is a little out of date.  Nevertheless, I found it very relevant, easy to use, and often of help.  If someone wanted to run their first marathon and was limited to reading no more than one 100-page book, this book is undoubtedly the answer.The book includes some valuable inspirational material, including an anecdote surrounding the author's father and the story of Oprah.  This is a great start for a questioning first marathoner.It also includes an outline training plan.  While I would not rely totally on that plan, I found it a good basis for a personal training program.  If I was ever in doubt as to my own training approach, I found it useful to read this book's plan to check that I was in the same ballpark.  Many little tips in the book are also useful.In summary, I found this book very helpful, and I would definitely recommend it as one book to read for anyone contemplating running his or her first marathon.Warwick Ford, Co-author "Fun on Foot in New York"
