Title: I particularly like the section of the power of affirmations.
Review: As a beginner of long distance running, I tried mini marathon 2 weeks ago mostly walk. For my age ( 58 years ), I like cycling very much to keep me healthy but it's hard to carry a bicycle from the third floor of my apartment to the ground. It causes my back pain sometime, therefore I try running. So I need a kind of a guide book. After searching through amazon kindle, I found this book interesting specially for average person and step by step made my decision to buy it. It's good for beginners like me, even I've not yet practice any steps just finishing reading. Easy to read and understanding clearly!. I particularly like the section of the power of affirmations.

Title: Good Basic Guidelines
Review: I have previously run 2 half marathons in the past year so I did not really learn much that was new. The book, however, has some good common sense advice for someone that has not run this distance before. I was especially pleased that the author included some post race advice.

Title: Very motivating and relatable!
Review: This book has been a great training sidekick! Not only does it layout distances and how to go about them during the training, the author explains pretty much everything a novice runner like myself is wondering about going into a half marathon. It is a fast read and now serves as a sort of quick reference manual if I forget what Iâm supposed to be doing in my training.

Title: Highly recommended
Review: This was a great quick read, took me about an hour. I just started training for my first half impulsively with no knowledge of what I was getting myself into. I decided to purchase this book in the hopes it would help me get prepared. It was very helpful and I highly recommend for beginners like me 🙂

Title: Very motivating!!!
Review: I started running in August. I have never run before in my life. I am 46 years old but I have been active my whole life, walking, biking, yoga etc. My boyfriend is a marathon runner and I thought why not give it a try. First time out I ran 1.25 miles. So I began my running journey. I read your book and have completed 2 5ks, a 10k and now I'm aiming for my first half marathon in January. I am using your book as my bible. If you can do it so can I. Right?

Review: An excellently written book. It is perfect for what you need to know to get the finishing line as it says on the front cover. Apart from providing very handy tips, I found the book to be also very motivational and has been one of the catalysts to book my first half marathon next year.In fact I have adopted the 12 week training plan provided in the book, as it suits me to the ground. Certainly a recommended read for some who wants to make that step up from a 10k.
