Jeff Galloway's fitness book Galloway's Book on Running has become the standard resource for runners. His new book, Marathon: You Can Do It!, has the programs that will allow almost anyone, at any fitness level, to have fun training for the marathon. Galloway's schedule almost eliminates the chance of injury through walk breaks, conservative pacing, and liberal rest days. The low weekly mileage lets participants carry on family and career activities as they prepare for the meaningful challenge. Inside you'll find the latest practical tips on eating, fat-burning, staying motivated, easier running form, and much more.

“One of my goals in life was to run a marathon. With the Galloway Program, not only did I fulfill my dream, but I never thought I would be able to run four marathons in two years, injury-free. It not only changed the way I live but also changed my outlook on life: I take it one mile at a time.” –Jane Mun, New York City

Galloway's success in using walk breaks throughout marathon training has attracted tens of thousands of average people to experience the unique lifetime accomplishment of finishing a marathon. Only in this book will you discover how to set these up, and to adjust to individual differences in conditioning. Other treasures are found inside, such as historical tidbits about the marathon, an eating plan that encourages fat burning while you eat all day long, and how competitive marathoners can use walk breaks to improve their time by an average of 13 minutes.

This is the state-of-the-art marathon book by the person who lives and breathes running.
