For over five decades, Hal Higdon, Senior Writer for Runner's
World, has been fielding countless questions and dispensing
valuable advice to millions of runners at all levels. Now, for the
first time, Marathoning A to Z distills these years of knowledge
into one handy volume that gives readers the inside scoop on
training and racing better and more enjoyably. Marathoning A to Z
takes every commonly (and not-so-commonly) asked question about the
marathon and organizes them alphabetically by keyword. The topic,
which is easy to find, is then thoroughly addressed in a few
information-packed paragraphs. From "Aid Station Strategy" and
"Altitude" to "Bad Weather," and "Black Toes," to "Carbohydrates"
and "Cross-Training," topics fall into dozens of general categories
including training, nutrition, rest and recovery, race strategies,
equipment, weather, injuries, keeping mentally strong, traveling to
and from the event, and much more. Always concise, eminently
readable, and often humorous, Higdon's advice puts any runner's
mind at ease no matter what the concern. Like having a personal
coach with you every step of the way, Marathoning A to Z is the
reliable training resource that can help any runner-from beginner
to elite-achieve his or her marathon goals. (5 1/2 x 7 1/2, 240
