2.0 out of 5 stars
Not the book for a beginner,
By
This review is from: 4 Months to a 4 Hour Marathon (Paperback)
I ran the Barcelona marathon in March of this year, I read an excellent book which literally addressed everything I needed to get me to the finish line. I bought 4 months as I am running the Amsterdam marathon in October and want to improve on my time. To surmise-I am a beginner in the world of marathons!First off, I was surprised that the book was so small. Training for a marathon in a big commitment and you need good, comprehensive mental and physical training programme (in that order of importance too). Secondly, a few chapters into the book Kuehls starts touting Runners world (a magazine he writes for) and drops running shoe brand names-this actually annoyed me. The book is a simple read-but you have to purchase it well in advance of four months to your marathon. The theory behind the title goes on the premise that you can train at a reasonable intensity for 45 minutes prior to commencing your 4 months to a 4 hour marathon training programme. For first time marathoners I would steer well clear of this book, the training programmes do look convinicing-but the 'Non-runners marathon Trainer' Whitsett et al. is a far, far better read and a million times more comprehensive. Simply put-I would not have crossed the finish line (feeling as good as I did) without reading the Non-Runners marathon trainer). In fact for the Amsterdam marathon I am consulting the aforementioned book for a refresher!

Fantastic book!,
This review is from: 4 Months to a 4 Hour Marathon (Paperback)
I bought this book when I started training for my first marathon, London. Couldn't put the book down, it became my bible. Covers everything you need to know. Managed to complete the marathon in 3.56.16, and I certainly have this book to thank in part! Very easy to read and understand, with good, practical advice. Many thanks, Dave Kuehls!!

It really works,

This review is from: 4 Months to a 4 Hour Marathon (Paperback)
I read this book as a complete novice to marathon running. The longest distance I ran was 5 miles max. This book has all the info you need, to do what the title of the book says. Follow Dave Kuehls advice and it really works. Four months after picking up this slim volume I completed the New York marathon in 3hrs 56.19.
