Description
Nearly every weekend now, somewhere in New Zealand, there is a fun run or walk being held, where ordinary people can have a go at the extraordinary. With the huge upsurge in these events over the last few years, many people who began with as little as a three-kilometre jog, are now ready for a bigger challenge - a half marathon, or 21.1 kilometres. But how to start? How much should they train? Is it possible to train TOO much? Do they need special foods or supplements? How can they avoid injuries? This book holds the answers, in simple, accessible language and with a practical approach that takes into account the busy nature of contemporary lives. With chapters on health, clothing, mental attitude, nutrition and hydration, stretching, injuries, planning for race day, recovery and, of course, detailed training programmes, this book covers all the basics for beginners and improvers.

"Today I completed my first half marathon thanks to this book"
Sixteen weeks ago I signed up to walk a half marathon. I then thought crap, now how do I train for it? I did a google search and found this book.
I was rapt that Mighty Ape has this in stock and quicker than I could say half marathon, I ordered the book and within 48 hours it landed on my doorstep.
I would highly recommend this book to people who want to complete a half marathon but do not know where to start. There are six training programmes that are ideal for those that want to walk it (me) to beginner runners.
The book does all the thinking for you and outlines a 14 week programme. It covers all the important topics, such as hydration, practicing event routines, walking on the course and tapering.
I am excited to say that today I completed my first half marathon with a smile on my face. This book helped me cross the finish line. If you are thinking about doing a half marathon and your a novice get this book!!
