Reader reviews
“I love how this book is so down to earth. Nicola is obviously very experienced as a runner having run many long-distance events and a is running coach.”
Happy Shopper
“Who says you can’t learn anything new after 37 years of running. A very informative book lots of pictures and helpful websites to assist your journey to running your first marathon. Very easy to read and understand, loved it.”
Winxy
“Brilliant! I think I’ve read just about every running book around and this is by far the best guide to running. Written by a real person, not some elite athlete with all day to train and no other commitments. Straightforward advice written in a humorous style. Realistic training plans and great links to “how to” videos. Highly recommend.”
