Once you commit to running a marathon, you need to start preparing for it-mentally and physically. Marathon Training presents three separate 100-day training programs to maximize your efforts. A prolific writer, coach and runner, author Joe Henderson has designed daily log pages to help you monitor all the variables that affect training, including weather and course conditions; training effectiveness; mental and physical benchmarks; and time, distance and pace goals. Each day, as you fill out your log page, Henderson's sage advice and "thought for the day" will give you a greater understanding of, and a deeper commitment to, your goal of running a marathon. Use Marathon Training as you would a personal coach: to motivate, inform, and inspire you through 91 days of marathon training and nine days of post-race recovery.
