Summary of this Book...
Jeff Galloway is known for his run-walk-run method in training for races, and he continues that method with a plan to run a half-marathon in this book.
This type of Book is good for...
Runners, beginners as well as seasoned pros, can learn from this book! (If you're a beginner, you should probably look into a shorter distance, though, like a 5k.) If you're looking into training for a half-marathon, this is a perfect book to read to get an idea of how to do it and the amount of training required to do it safely.
I especially liked...
I love the run-walk-run method. For some reason, runners feel the need to never stop running. Galloway shows that taking a short walking break, though, during a training run and a race will help your muscles recover and may actually help your overall time!
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
start running! While I haven't yet reached the half-marathon distance (13.1 miles), I did use this method to run a 10k (6.2 miles). I noticed after each walking break that I was able to run faster.
The author of this Book...
Jeff Galloway is an Olympic runner, a best-selling author, an inspirational speaker and a Runner's World columnist, and his training method has an over 98% success rate!
Further Comments...
Even if you don't believe in taking walking breaks during distance running, it's worth it to read this book to get an insight into one very successful runner/trainer's program and ideas on running.
