Whether you are a first-time marathoner, trying to set a new ‘PR’ or looking to qualify for Boston, this book is for you.
‘TRAIN LESS AND RUN YOUR BEST’
Some worry that running a marathon will involve hours upon hours of training each week. Others fear that they will become injured. Some veteran marathoners have followed other training plans and experienced both, but Tom’s approach is much different. His philosophy of ‘train less, run your best’ will amaze you whether you are running your first marathon or fiftieth. Exercise physiologist and sports performance coach Tom Holland — an elite endurance athlete himself and sub-3 hour marathoner who has run in more than fifty marathons, three ultramarathons, and a dozen Ironman triathlons around the world will teach you how to properly gear up and train in the sixteen weeks prior to your half or full marathon.
