Additional The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer Information

Athlete. Runner. Marathoner. Are these words you wouldn't exactly use to describe yourself? Do you consider yourself too old or too out of shape to run a marathon? But somewhere deep inside have you always admired the people who could reach down and come up with the mental and physical strength to complete such a daunting and rewarding accomplishment? It doesn't have to be somebody else crossing the finish line. You can be a marathoner. The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer is based on the highly successful marathon class offered by the University of Northern Iowa, which was featured in a Runner's World article titled "Marathoning 101." The class has been offered five times over 10 years, and all but one student finished the marathon. That is approximately 200 students -- all first time marathoners and many with absolutely no running background. This book follows the same 16-week, four-day-a-week workout plan. What makes the success rate of this program so much higher than any other? The special emphasis on the psychological aspects of endurance activities. You don't have to love to run -- you don't even have to like it -- but you have to realize that you are capable of more than you have ever thought possible. One participant in the program explained it like this: "I'm doing this for me -- not for others or the time clock. I just feel better when I run, plus it helps me to cope with things in general. The skills we've learned in this class don't apply just to marathoning -- they apply to life! Just like you never know what the next step in a marathon will bring, so too, you never know what will happen next in life. But if you don't keep going, you're never going to find out. By staying relaxed, centered, and positive you handle just about anything that comes your way." This is marathon running for real people, people with jobs and families and obligations outside of running. The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer has proven successful for men and women of all ages. Now let it work for you.

 

What Customers Say About The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer:

Lots of good information on mental tricks to use during your race. I picked up this book while training for my first marathon. I was following a different training schedule so I can't comment on the training schedule itself, but this book really talks about the mental aspects of marathon training which I believe are equally, or perhaps even more, important.Its also a great book that details what you can expect physically and mentally as you go through the various weeks of training.

There are so many cool things about this book. I'm telling you, if you have never run a marathon and would like to hear someone tell you exactly what you need to do, how you need to think, what you need to focus on during training, this book is perfect. It's a simple training plan combined with advice from people just like us - people who prior to taking the marathon training class these authors taught, had never considered running a marathon before. I'm a beginner runner. I just love it. I've read a ton of different "training manuals" before I bought this book last month. I've done a couple half-marathons but I was really slow and I walked a lot and I didn't know the first thing about how to train. This one is by far the easiest to read, understand and follow.

Simply put: This book is GREAT and it WORKS. I cannot say enough good things about this book and am thankful that I had it to get me through my first marathon. I purchased this book at Amazon because I hadnt run for years and I wanted a "down-to-earth" everyman guide to use to prepare/train for my first marathon. Thanks to this book, I finished the California International Marathon (December 2009) and had a great time doing it.

I kept this book with me for three months and relied on the information to explain aches and pains, mental meltdowns and what to expect when I hit "the wall".Running the marathon was a lot like this book. This is a beginner's book that is designed to get you across the finish line. Once you can run for 30 minutes you are ready to begin the 16 week training program.The combination of the physical and mental strategies to get through the 26.2 miles of a marathon are invaluable. I would highly recommend that you start by reading the Introduction and do what the book tells you.It does assume some level of fitness, but not much.

I must say this book worked for me. I found the first half to be all physical and the second half to be all mental. The runner testimonials throughout the book are inspirational and there is a runner for everyone. I didn't just read this book, it was a tool that I used to complete the 2009 Philadelphia Marathon and it worked.

There is a 10 week preliminary training program in the Introduction of the book that will get you to the point of running for 30 minutes. If you use the strategies and follow the training in this book you will finish your first marathon. I achieved my goal and it was phenomenal. If you follow the program you will finish.

which I loved. When I first decided to run a marathon, I was shocked to find how many guiding tools there were. :) I have never had a baby, but I compare it to "Something to Expect When Expecting" for runners. Some were complicated me due to being a beginner. This was an easy read, week by week guide.
