Disorganized, Hard To Follow For A Beginner
25. Juni 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was very excited about this book. I've been a hobby runner on and off my whole life, but I've never officially trained for anything [other than military duty].
So, I got this book to help me figure out how to train for a marathon. The author seems very well respected and experienced. The book sounded like exactly what I wanted.
However, when I got the book, I found it laid out poorly. It is disorganized in the way ideas are presented and seems to jump around from topic to topic. I really needed a book that said "To start training for a marathon, you do A then B then C" with troubleshooting and advice on nutrition and stuff to follow. This book didn't really do that.
I'm several chapters in and I'm still not sure exactly what my first few steps are supposed to be.
I do like his writing style and I think he's very interesting. I enjoyed the stories and anecdotes Mr. Galloway includes, I found them very informative.
But I'm going to look for another book that will be easier for a total beginner to follow. I'll keep this one as a reference, but I need something more along the lines of "Running a Marathon for Dummies" I guess [is there such a book?!]. :)

Boston Qualifyer and Conversion of Attitude
12. Mai 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
I have been using this book and plan for after ten years now and while perusing Galloway's books to find a title for my therapist decided to finally chime in. From being a XC runner in high school and college, the mentality of never stopping during a race was commendable and a rite of passage. Before picking up this book I ran two marathons without stopping. I was 35 then but my back seemed like it was 65. After both those marathons, the "sensation" of a broomstick jamming into my backside was crippling (sciatic nerve). In the advice from a friend I tried the run/walk system. My next marathon brought a Park City time from 4:30 to 3:51 walking every mile. Granted I was pushing mile times, but the result was phenomenal. I now exclusively use the R/W program for training and racing. I have tried a run 4 min, walk 30 second, and a walk each mile marker with success in both. My PR is now a 3:27 which brought me to Boston this last April... so for the doubting speedsters, running fast by walking is possible. For those with back pain, I can't say enough.

This book needs an extra chapter
2. Mai 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
As a first time marathoner - just finished the Nashville Marathon - I was fully invested in the process. I read multiple books, watched videos, listened to running experts, bought all the products necessary, and learned as much as possible to make my attempt a success. So when I heard about the Galloway method, and subsequently received this book, I was very interested.
What I found within the pages of this book was a mixed bag. A 1:30:00 hour split at the half marathon and a 5 hour finish. Within the pages is a smorgasbord of useful tips on how/when to run, when to walk, how to improve, where to set goals, how to train, and a variety of tips and tidbits that most running novices don't know. I learned quite a bit. Having said that, I could have used more, and the presentation could have been more linear and concise.
Regarding the linear thought, there is far too much bouncing around in this book. All too often the book is self-referential when a topic has not been covered. A reader is forced to jump ahead several pages or chapters to learn the tactic or topic at hand, then go back to the original location and continue on. This is quite frustrating, particularly because Galloway is known as an expert in training us mere mortals attempting to finish a marathon. As for being concise, there is a bunch of repetition throughout the book, and there is literally an entire chapter copy-pasted from one page to another. Maybe an editor would have been beneficial.
The final thought I have on this book as it relates to Galloway's run-walk-run method is the dire necessity of an extra chapter titled: Running Etiquette. The team-building aspects of his method are great, and the physical benefits are without question, but the rolling roadblocks that occur as a result of the above combination are incredibly frustrating and inconsiderate. A solo run-walk-run practitioner should be to the side - particularly if they have headphones in when they shouldn't - but is fairly easy to avoid. A group, however, running and then suddenly stopping for their walk break is a recipe for disaster. I experienced this numerous times during my marathon and knew the exact source. The lesson of the chapter should be: Get out of the way.
Overall I was a bit disappointed. I will definitely apply some of the lessons learned, particularly the training methods and dietary recommendations, but overall there are better, more thorough, more concise sources of information.
