 OCTOBER 27, 2003 The Essential Marathoner Running a marathon. Covering 26.2 miles on two feet. It seems overwhelming. Superhuman. Mind-and-body boggling. Yet, "any healthy individual can run a marathon provided he or she is willing to put in the time and preparation necessary to train properly," writes fitness writer John Hanc in The Essential Marathoner (Lyons & Burford, retails for $12.95.) Eight-time marathoner Hanc has broken down the world's most admired race so that any runner, from novice to experienced, can grasp it. His comprehensive advice promotes smart rather than hard training. From cross-training and nutrition to stretching and long runs, Hanc points out the do's and don'ts of training from his own experience and through the words of both first-time marathoners and world champions. If you're thinking about running the New York Marathon in November -- November 2004, that is -- it's time to start training now. The Essential Marathoner is the perfect way to get on track for next year's big race. |
