review 1: The reviews of this book seem unduly harsh. I've read a few running books by heroes of the sport and they're good but they're describing something at a level I can never hope to aspire to. What I liked about this book was that it was pitched at a more human level and describes mistakes we all make in the process of developing as a runner. OK, it has its flaws - moaning about stuff is never a good thing to read, he relies on clichés more than I would like and let's face it, how can you trust the judgement of someone who runs to Status Quo? As a book to read during marathon training, though, it's enjoyable and it's steeped in the spirit of the ordinary runner. Not the super-athlete, not the fun runner, but the dedicated, get-up-at-dawn competitor, struggling to chisel a cou... moreple of minutes off his PB. I like that.
review 2: Probably not a great book if you're not about to run your first marathon, but sine I am, I enjoyed it! It did give a really good insight into the world of marathon running and convinced me at the very least, not to rule out running more than one. I also think I picked up a fair few tips along the way. It could be because my training's going ok now, or it could be because of the portrayal of the experience of marathon running (the good and the bad) in this book that I'm almost looking forward to the run now! less
