Publishers Description: Divided into two sections, this text deals with training beginner runners from scratch up to their first 10km (6-mile) race and then tackles the more serious topic of half-, full- and ultra-marathon running. Through artwork and photographs, "The Marathon Runner's Handbook" explains physiology and running science in an accessible way. From how muscles work, choosing your running shoes, optimal nutrition, and how to avoid injuries to training schedules plus VO2 and pacing tables, this text teaches athletes what they need to know to run a marathon. Further inspiration is found in chapters on today's high-achieving marathoners and the world's most famous long-distance runners.
