- Too little contentI finished reading this book in a little over an hour. There's very little of substance here. If you're a decent runner to start with it has schedules and minimal dietary information, but few alternatives to the food suggested. If you're a beginner, try something else.

- Fantastic book!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 worksI 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.

- Informative and necessary for the novice.Fun reading and full of beneficial tips, this book enabled me to complete my first marathon (Pittsburgh, 5/2/99). Has also served as my inspiration to run a second marathon. A few mistakes in pace calculations did not detract.

- "Running for Dummies"!This book should be titled,'Running for Dummies'. I guess in that sense it is extremely user friendly, if anything. This is, however, the worst book I've ever read on runnning! It's poorly organized and poorly written. People who don't like to read should buy this book because there is just not too much to it. The only useful thing in this book is the author's list of the "Fastest Marathons in the US". In addition, the author attempts to motivate the reader by instilling the philosophy of, "If Oprah can do it so can you!" Frankly, I doubt if the average American would (be able to) hire a personal trainer to train with exclusively and hold his/her hand through a Marathon. The author should re-check his data on Oprah's finishing time for the Marine Corp. Marathon. In sum, if you hate to read, aren't concerned with details, and only care about the 'how to' and the 'why', then I DO recommend that you buy this book. If you like the more intellectual, mataphysical approach ... Read More
