"This world-famous race of 26 miles and 385 yards has become the benchmark that all long-distance runners measure themselves against. It can be a social activity or a solo one, you can compete against other runners or you can try to beat your own best time. But it’s a goal to aim for, something to strive towards, a challenge to set yourself. It’s a huge accomplishment, and it’s something only a small proportion of the population ever manages to complete.
This book will guide you through everything you need to run your first marathon. You will learn how to choose the right equipment, what to eat to keep your body in the best shape, the best exercises to do to make you stronger and more flexible, how to stay injury-free when you run, how to choose your marathon and what to do on the day. There’s also a six-month training schedule that will gradually build up the miles, work on your strength and speed and push your endurance abilities, slowly but surely transforming you from complete novice to long-distance runner."

I did a half marathon a few years ago, and only a few hours later I ate the other half of the marathon.

The first page tells you how to run in case you've forgotten. I'm so fat I probably have or my knees wouldn't take it so the first page is a definite must, the rest of it well it takes you on a guided tour for 26 miles, I quite liked page 26 where it says "and there's Mrs Johnson's house, have a look has she still got her washing out?"
