Summary of Andrew Kastor's Running Your First Marathon

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The marathon-training plan will help you build speed, endurance, and mental strength. It will also focus on recovery, the periods in between your tough training sessions, in which your mind and muscles need to rest and rebuild with nutrition, sleep, and stretching.

#2 As a coach, I encourage all my clients, even professional athletes, to start planning well in advance for their marathons. Selecting and signing up for a marathon early, five to six months ahead of time, will set you up for success.

#3 Selecting a marathon that is close to your home is a good idea, as is selecting a race that is well established and well known. The route should be relatively flat or not too difficult, and have inspiring scenery.

#4 Cost is a factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sign up for a marathon. Registration fees may be waived for qualifying causes, such as charity runs.
