book review

    In Smart Marathon Training, Jeff Horowitz offers one of the most comprehensive perspectives on training smarter, not harder, for marathons and half-marathons. Most importantly, he demonstrates the effectiveness of training smarter and more economically; eliminating the old 70-100 miles a week-marathon training methodology, which often leaves a runner burnt out come race time. Horowitz offers six complete training plans for marathons and half-marathons, over 75 detailed exercises including pictures, insights into tools, shoes, and other running aids, running drills, as well as indicators to determine progress and overtraining. Smart Marathon Training is a great book for the novice running their first race to the most experienced runners looking for new training methods to improve their race performance.
