This is the ideal title for runners of all levels of fitness who wish to enter and compete in a marathon, but don't know quite where to start. It will cover not only key information on training, fitness and nutrition, but it is unique in offering a full guide to the practicalities of entering any marathon - where and how to apply, which one to enter, how to raise money for a 'bonded' place, and even how to get there on the day. Authored by the founder of the UK's leading running website, and the online partner of the Flora London Marathon, it offers both sound training and advice and useful insider tips, and also features a Foreword from the founder of the London Marathon, Dave Bedford.
