Changed my viewpoint and attitude!, 2003-07-15 13:14:35.0
Reviewer: Howard White
from Cartersville, Ga
In brief, this book changed my attitude and desire to run a marathon. I ran my first and only marathon back in 1979 and did a lot of wrong things, suffered doing it and vowed, never again. I have read lots of stuff about running from Galloway, the Penguin, etc, but this book was able to "get to me" in a way no other had. The 2 writters do a great job at making you realize a couple things:
1. You can run a marathon and enjoy it if you prepare properly and don't get too anxious about your finish time.
2. It is ok to be realistic about the process.
For anyone who has ever doubted or crashed and burned trying to prepare for a marathon, take it from me, this book will help.
