Becky, being a very intelligent and well-read individual, went out and purchased two books on marathon running and recently passed them on to me. One, which she referenced in an earlier post, The Non-Runner's Guide to Marathon Running for Women, is a witty take on one woman's effort to "get off the couch and get on with your training!" The other, The Marathon Method, is written by a fitness coach who notes that he often logs 30 miles with clients before 10am. I like the book. It's straightforward, written in a way that is very easy to digest, and contains a lot of useful information about training, strength training, stretching, and staying injury-free.
My favorite part of the the book is actually the introduction, where the author is touting the benefits of running. He comments on all the TV commercials advertising medicine for ailments that can be prevented and/or diminished by running. How often, he mused, do we see a commercial that says, "Ask your doctor about exercise!"
