Finish Your First Marathon

A realistic week-by-week plan to build your mileage and long runs, fuel with gels, pace yourself past the wall, taper right, and reach the start of 26.2By Imad Muratspahic

About this audiobook

You can already run a few miles. You signed up for the marathon. And then the quiet panic set in: how much should you actually run each week, how do you keep from falling apart in the last 10K, and how many of those little gels are you supposed to carry? Most beginner-running advice stops at the 5K or 10K and leaves you to guess the rest. Finish Your First Marathon is the honest bridge from a few comfortable miles to 26.2. It is not a couch-to-running starter guide and it is not a plan written for people chasing a Boston time. It is a finish-focused playbook for the runner who just wants to train sensibly, avoid the wall, and cross the line upright. Follow it week by week and you will reach the start line trained and the finish line proud, whatever the clock says.
