![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() I'm running my first marathon on February and this book gave me basic knowledge of how to approach this goal and how to organize myself for it. It's an excellent book for first time marathoners, however it's like a lecture. Don't expect too much specific information, it's more on the anecdotal than practical. Also, if you're a first time marathoner who's reading this bool, go to the authors website and use one of it's marathon and half marathon training plans as they go perfect with the base information you'll get from the book. Although this book is a bit dated (e.g. marathon contact info included snail mail addresses only), I got a good bit out of it. Higdon reinforces many of his points with personal stories, or those of other runners or medical professionals. The book is a pretty quick read, and includes several charts as well as some training plans that look doable. Things I took away from this book: 1) Having a base mileage of 30-40 miles is key--if you want to be able to finish a marathon. More mileage is better--55 miles/week if you want to finish well, but there's a limit beyond which more mileage helps. I can't find it at the moment, but it seems like that number was around 75 miles/week. Elite runners have been known to do 100 , but they're in a totally different category! 2) Concentration is important in a marathon--concentrating on your body and on your competitors can play a big role in how you finish the race. If concentrating for the whole marathon is too much, focusing on the second half is one option. A lot of the other information was much like information I'd seen in other running books, but it was all interesting to read in the context of training for my first marathon (which I haven't picked yet!). A good read on training for the marathon. It was a little too thick on the anecdotes for me, but I am sure some readers will enjoy that aspect. The pacing and training is different than the method I have used for my two marathons to date (combination of Henderson/Galloway). Walks have made a big difference in training and doing the actual race. I also wonder about the chapter on nutrition. I have been using My Fitness Pal and losing about a pound a week during the training. The first thing I noticed was cutting down on my carbs (breads and pastas especially) helped a lot in keeping my calories in line. This is counter to Higdon's advice for a distance runner. I wonder what advice other runners, nutritionists and trainers subscribe to. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
