How to Run your First Marathon

I bought this book in 1982, a time before liquid carbohydrates, heart rate monitors, and tempo runs. What it lacked in technological mumbo-jumbo, it more than makes up with a stick to this running schedule and you'll finish a marathon period simplicity. The training program is not confusing because it's based on time and not on distance. You'll get to a point (something like 5 months into running) when you'll be logging hours on the road. That's the time when you'll be ready. Great book! A true comfort book for runners.

Perfect prep for first timer

It is a short easy read that doesn't go beyond the scope of novices, yet not too simple for short distance runners ready to attempt a marathon.
