An astonishing array of interesting people, from Olympians to coaches to celebrities, have spoken and written about the marathon. That's why this rich treasury is the perfect gift for anyone who loves - or aspires to conquer - the 26.2 mile run. Divided into four chapters - First Encounters, Training, Racing, and Reflections - The Quotable Marathoner brings you the words of first time marathoners as well as the wisdom of the masters.
Getting ready to run my first marathon and this book gave me the motivation I need to get into training next week. Excellent quotes from so many sources. I loved everything about this and plant to re read it when it gets closer to the big day! If you are a runner, this is a must read.
