Athlete. Runner. Marathoner. Are these words you wouldn't exactly
use to describe yourself? Do you consider yourself too old or too
out of shape to run a marathon? But somewhere deep inside have you
always admired the people who could reach down and come up with the
mental and physical strength to complete such a daunting and
rewarding accomplishment? It doesn't have to be somebody else
crossing the finish line. You can be a marathoner. "The
Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer" is based on the highly successful
marathon class offered by the University of Northern Iowa, which
was featured in a "Runner's World" article titled "Marathoning
101." The class has been offered five times over 10 years, and all
but one student finished the marathon. That is approximately 200
students -- all first time marathoners and many with absolutely no
running background. This book follows the same 16-week,
four-day-a-week workout plan. What makes the success rate of this
program so much higher than any other? The special emphasis on the
psychological aspects of endurance activities. You don't have to
love to run -- you don't even have to like it -- but you have to
realize that you are capable of more than you have ever thought
possible. One participant in the program explained it like this:
"I'm doing this for me -- not for others or the time clock. I just
feel better when I run, plus it helps me to cope with things in
general. The skills we've learned in this class don't apply just to
marathoning -- they apply to life Just like you never know what the
next step in a marathon will bring, so too, you never know what
will happen next in life. But if you don't keep going, you're never
going to find out. By staying relaxed, centered, and positive you
handle just about anything that comes your way." This is marathon
running for real people, people with jobs and families and
obligations outside of running. "The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer"
has proven successful for men and women of all ages. Now let it
work for you.
