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?

There's no other book like this. Longtime running writer Scott Douglas marshals expert advice (including his own, cultivated from more than 100,000 miles of personal experience), and a growing body of scientific research to show how running can make us happier. How? Everyone knows that running builds stronger muscles and a healthier heart; science now shows it also helps develop a healthier brain. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, a consistent running routine can enhance the mental-health benefits of talk therapy, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Would you like to know how to complete a marathon? To many people, having the desire to run a marathon is a mystery. But to others, it's one of the most natural activities in world. Running is one of the easiest sports to fit into a busy lifestyle. It doesn't cost you anything; you can do it anywhere and at any time. Most people will take up running to get fit or to lose weight initially. Once you get into it, and you've benefited from losing weight and getting fitter, you start to crave the desire of another challenge.

And much to his own surprise, he kept going, faster and further, running 14 marathons and logging tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the US and the world, including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings.

As Engle got sober, he turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren't far enough he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for 35, 50, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race.

Publisher's Summary
Long distance running is much like any other fitness training. If you want to improve, you need a good plan that has a progressive nature. If you are new to this game, you need a solid foundation to build on. Having a running program is not the only thing that you need. Sound advice and running tips should be taken from someone who has "walked the walk", or in this case, "ran the run".
Hi, my name is James Atkinson from jimshealthandmuscle.com. I'm a qualified fitness coach and personal trainer and I have a fair bit of running advice that I would like to share with you. When I was around 18 years old, I was a terrible runner! In fact, I failed the basic fitness test for army entrance on running alone, and I failed big time! Several years later, I was clearing 1.5 mile running circuits in eight minutes and 22 seconds and could easily run a marathon any day of the week! I would like to share my knowledge and training experiences with you.
If you are a beginner when it comes to running, this information will no doubt give you advice that will probably not have even crossed your mind before. If you are already a runner and are looking to make more progression, you are also in the right place. I know that it is easy to get stuck on a training plateau, so I have also added some information and training methods to this book that will help you leave the plateau behind.

I really enjoyed the straight forward tips and information described in this book.
The stories were entertaining and short and to the point.
The training plan is simple to follow and the suggestions are fantastic.
As I prepare for my second marathon, I am modifying my training with many of these suggestions.
The main take away is to plan your trainings to achieve the desired results.
Thank you Jim.

Great for those starting out
Enjoyed the stories and the tips. Being an injured ex soldier myself, I took up running to lose weight just over 4 years ago after ballooning to over 25st. Lost over 170lbs all thanks to the challenges that running can give you. Knowing how to avoid some of the pitfalls and getting good training tips stops those unnecessary injuries can only be a good thing. Soak up the knowledge this book gives you and you will succeed in your running dreams.

Brilliant
I usually never bother reviewing books but felt I had to after listening to this one.
Great book full of good advice laid out in simple terms. Loved the anecdotes and how the author's personal experiences relate to goals that probably everyone who downloads the book wishes to achieve. I look forward to reading and listening to James,s other books now

Good book for the beginners
Great short book providing an introduction to long distance running. I would say if you are already a long distance runner this is probably not going to give you much new information, but still a great listen

Better than nothing but not very good.
Good running advice. Terrible diet advice. Narrative is weak. This should have been a podcast. A free podcast.

Great start for a beginner (like me)
Thanks Jim, for helping remove the overwhelm of signing up to my first half marathon. For breaking it down simply into steps and stages. Highly recommend for someone in my position, just starting out. I can't speak for more experienced runners.
