The Ultimate Guide to Marathon Running Magazine
The Ultimate Guide to Marathon Running is a 164 page magazine book type thing with a foreword by Liz Yelling aimed at beginners, intermediate and advanced.
It has training advice, nutrition tips, essential gear and schedules for all abilities.
There are eight parts to it:
Part one: Advice on how to set your marathon goals
Part two: Essential kit guide
Part three: Starting training
Part four: Preparing for a run
Part five: Nutrition
Part six: Check the technique
Part seven: Training
Part eight: Injury prevention
Then at the back are race tips, tactics, fuelling and recovery for the big day, along with schedules ranging from 4 hours+ to sub-2 hours 55 minutes.
Plenty of photos and step-by-step guides, written in an easy to understand language. It’s like a big glossy magazine for us hardcore finely tuned athlete types.
At £7.99, I’d say it was well worth the money.

I bought this the other week as I was getting stuck with my training and wanted some extra tips. It’s been a big help so far, giving me the extra info I, as a very novice runner, have been lacking. Will be recommending this to my running partner for this years run. Fingers crossed the advice will get us to the finish line!

Sounds good…if only I can get over my dislike of being told to do something I really don’t want to do.
