Resumen del Editor

Don’t think you can run a marathon? This book is for you!

Through her own experience completing over 100 marathons and from transforming hundreds of first-timers into many-time marathoners, Coach Denise Sauriol, aka, the Marathon Whisperer, equates training for a marathon to taking a class. When you sign up for a class, you get a syllabus (training plan), you do your homework (training runs), and then you take your final (run the marathon), right? Training for a marathon is as methodical as taking a class. You just have to add heart!

Signed up for a marathon and feeling SCITED (Scared + Excited)? This book is also for YOU!

This book is all you need for running your first marathon. The chapters are laid out into 26 miles and kick off with a personal story of inspiration from a first-timer who Denise has coached. She has coached runners from 18 to 82 years old, and she can help you, too! Within each mile, she shares her tips, tricks, and lessons learned from competing in over 250 races across six continents. Following these insightful and inspirational miles, you will find your syllabus for Marathoning 101.

When was the last time you did something that you were scited about?! You, too, can do 26.2!

ENCOURAGING

I plan to listen to this book over and over again, for every race! I am so scited to run my first marathon! And this book is going to push me to get to the finish line! Thank you Denise!

She has a new student in me!

Stumbled upon this book while training for my marathon after just finishing “born to run” I’m the type of runner who likes to listen to inspiring and informative information while running, and boy is this packed full of helpful tips for a first timer! Denise is an energetic and passionate marathoner who’s love for running leaks and transforms training into enjoyment! I had to contact Denise after her book, & she does zoom appointments to give you any further tips & honestly just some genuine motivation if you’re feeling stuck in your training. Thank you Coach, you have yourself a new, run hungry student!

Informative and enjoyable

I think this is a great resource for first timers like me and told in a very relatable way. Last year I ran a half marathon and thought “let’s do this again, but harder!” So here I am a few weeks into marathon training and listening to running-related audio books. This particular book is more relatable than most since it includes perspectives by first time marathon finishers. The author also provides just enough background on herself that you know to take her advice very seriously but not so much that the book turns into an ego trip, like some other books.

Highly recommend!

Loved it

Loved this book! But why do I not get the training plan through audible. That seems sad.

Loved it!

Loved Coach Denise’s book! It was full of SO many helpful tips that have given me the confidence to run my first marathon in Chicago this fall. Thanks Coach Denise!! I look forward to meeting you at the race!

Excellent resource + so much positivity!!!

This book is chock full of expert, detailed advice on running your first marathon.

But as important as those facts are, it is the emotional encouragement that Coach Denis provides - which sets this book apart.

A must read for anyone preparing for their first 26.2 race!

Information packed!

Getting ready to run my first marathon and found this audiobook to be so full of information I ordered a hard book.

Real People Examples

This book is both inspiring and informative. The variety of real life stories of not just “runners” who completed the marathon and the areas covered for practical application in preparing for the marathon kept me engaged even while listening during walks. On top of that the balanced perspective of running in the big picture of life is unique to any other running book I have read. The author’s own testimony sparked more than just how to run a marathon, but also how the experience relates to many other things we can accomplish with the right outlook and discipline. Easy read and great listen!

First time marathoner

I am signed up to run my first marathon in one week. I have trained for it with a running group and coach for 16 weeks and this book reinforced everything I have done and been taught to be ready for marathon morning. I loved the first time stories at the beginning of each chapter. This book was exactly what I needed to get me through the taper blues and get me mentally ready for race day!

Me, You and 26.2

The book was very easy to listen to and she personalized it very well!!! Listening to this while running made my long run go by.
