I bought this book to prepare for running my third marathon and found it to be extremely confusing, condescending and un-motivating. I have been running for years and have run many races somehow this book still managed to make me fill as if I was not worthy of running. There are great marathon training guides out there but this is not one of them. If you are looking for something that is clear and inspirational try checking out The Non-Runner’s Marathon Trainer.

I thought the condition of this book was actually worse then what was described over the Internet. Little dissapointed by the ‘half true’ description of this book but overall I was ok with the rest of the 5 books that came together with this book. 5 out of 6 books in good condition, I’m ok with that.

This book did not provide a good sense of how a regular runner can accomplish or improve a marathon. It was confusing and filled with information that was not helpful. Save your money.

I buy these books hoping to find a mixture of training programs, instead i find each author holds to his own theory. I guess i need a book containing a number of training programs from different runners. where can i find one of those.
Higdon is a great runner and deserves respect, but i do not find that he gives u any insight not found in books by others. I need more. I need variety.

I agree 100% with “A Customer” who previously wrote:
