"At the end of every marathon training run, I recite the Penguin mantra: 'The miracle isn't that I finished, it's that I had the courage to start.' I thank John Bingham for bolstering my courage and helping me run, literally, for my life."--Jessica Stedman Guff, senior producer of ABC-TV's The View
"Jenny Hadfield is an amazing motivator. She makes regular people believe that they can undertake amazing things--and then she's there all the way to encourage them, right down to the finish line. I've never met another coach quite like her."--Kathy O'Malley, WGN Radio--Chicago talk show host in training for her first marathon

5.0 out of 5 stars
Real peple can run long distance!,
By Idea gal (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marathoning for Mortals (Paperback)
Thank you John Bingham! This book helped me to reach my goal of running a half marathon. I found the training schedules were realistic, and I started from a "just above couch potato" level. I could really relate to the author and enjoyed his writing.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!,

This review is from: Marathoning for Mortals (Paperback)
Not only is this book full of good information, but it is also very realistic and funny. The authors are not afraid to tell it like it is. A must for anyone thinking about running a 5k, 10k, half or full marathon.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Go the Distance! Have some fun too!,
By "joebheyscott" (Palmetto Bay, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marathoning for Mortals (Paperback)
Marathoning is more than a physical effort. It is also mental and spiritual. Body and mind both must be conditioned for the 26.2 mile adventure. This book addresses the whole person's preparation for a marathon. Bingham stresses that each person can find success at their own level. A few years ago, I joined "Team In Training" to do a marathon while raising money to fight cancer. A noble goal, but I had never done more than a 5K. In fact I am a cancer survivor myself! I read this book cover to cover, and followed the ideas. Foure months later, I finished my first marathon! I have done a few more since then too! If you are a hot-shot runner, go write your own book. Want a technical book in running? Go get one. This book is for the rest of us who just want to do the marathon, go the distance, and have some fun too!
