How to run a Marathon

by Mike Suminski

The ultimate challenge for the
body and mind

The marathon continues to represent one of life's most rewarding experiences.

Marathoning is an action sport. My booklet will help you get into the action. It is full of ideas and activities you can use to run a marathon and complete it successfully. It takes you through what you can do and how you should go about it. The booklet is just long enough for it to be "easy to understand".

All the ideas, suggestions, and recommendations have been experienced by me. This program brought me from recreational running to completing 17 marathons in less than five years. It has also been used by many individuals who have accomplished this great feat. You'll become more energetic, healthier, fitter, and more vibrant ... and the BIG payoff ... you'll feel better about yourself, taste that "feeling of accomplishment", and that "sense of personal fulfilment". I guarantee it!!

This booklet will show you:

• The reasons people take on this exciting challenge;
• How to choose the right kind of running shoe (over 90% of injuries are caused by using the wrong shoes);
• The 12 most important points of marathon training and the importance of "listening to your body";
• The proper approach to nutrition;
• The "collapse point" theory and the "48 hour" training concept;
• Motivation and the psychological benefits of running;

• The most important qualities to achieving success as a runner;
• The importance of "warm-ups", "cool downs", stretching, and water intake;
• Bonus material on the "mind of the runner", how to handle "burnout", winter training, an other extra tips.

Once you have the facts about running, it is time for you to start your schedule. The schedule provided is designed for a progressive, moderate, and systematic approach to training.

Go ahead, give yourself a challenge of a lifetime! What an adventure! It's one you'll never regret.
