Believe in the Unstoppable You! by Mark C. Minichiello

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner runner looking for a BQ or a first-timer hoping to just finish the race, Believe in the Unstoppable You is your perfect 26-week training resource! Using the philosophy that you need to run slow to run fast, it provides tips on ideal training zones for beginning to advanced runners, as well as training schedules, speed work training, VDOT training, cross training advice to build strength and endurance. It covers a runner's nutritional needs (beyond the cliché of carbo-loading), and has tips on injury prevention, race-week and race-day preparation, and post-marathon recovery. The same principles for marathon training apply for a half-marathon, so there are 13-week training plans included for your added benefit.
