“52 Marathons In 52 Weeks: How to Run a Marathon Every Week For a Year” by Karl Gruber is the definitive guide on how to go about preparing yourself to run one 26.2 mile race – a marathon – for 52 straight weeks. Gruber stands on a platform of integrity of his expertise in writing about this topic in that he himself successfully accomplished running 52 marathons in 52 weeks in 1996 – 1997. While it may seem that this topic represents a small niche of runners, the running of multiple marathons on a regular basis has seen massive growth and popularity in the past twenty years.

The popularity of running numerous marathons on a regular basis, and running longer and longer distances non-stop, has seen an exponential growth within the global running community over the last two decades.

In this guide, you will learn:

- How to train your body properly to prepare for the physical rigors of running 52 marathons in 52 weeks

- How to handle, organize, and deal with the logistics of such a gargantuan effort

- What training program works best to get you into peak shape to run 52 marathons

- Proper nutrition, and tips on staying fueled, hydrated, and rested

- How to deal with your critics and naysayers

- How to maintain a positive and self-confident attitude during the long year of running marathons
