Helpful

it's very helpful, easy to follow, really a good beginners guide for the first marathon,

Generic instructions

The book is a good read and mainly has the Do's and Don'ts in preparation for a Marathon. It does cover all areas needed to finish a marathon up to 26 miles.

But, when I wonder .. I couldn't think of any other way an author could have suggested better. It would have been more helpful if there was more focus on the nutrition aspect of the preparation.

Narrator was a bit fast paced for me. I had to read it at 0.80x speed.

Short, not a lot of substance

Maybe it's because I am constantly looking for info regarding running--but I've heard all of this before. They basically explain a training program, which I have been doing for half marathons. It could be called "you're first race."

Not terrible, but it was not anything new for me.

Good advice for first time marathon runners

Great tips for beginners. The advice will lead you in the right direction for your first or second marathon.

Outdated thinking?

Author focuses on what seem to me to be outdated ideas of carb-loading, intensity runs, and high-tech footware. I personally find "primal endurance" thinking much more compelling.
