I am placing this book next to my training log for easy reference." --Frank Shorter, 1972 Olympic-marathon gold medalist "Amby Burfoot motivates runners of all strides and sizes in this truly essential book. Special kudos for the attention he pays to women runners." --Joan Samuelson, 1984 Olympic-marathon gold medalist "This book is packed full of great advice for every runner. The chapters on injury prevention, in particular, will keep you running long and healthy." --Jeff Galloway, Olympic 10,000-meter runner and best-selling author "Amby Burfoot taught me much of what I know about marathoning, and now he's put all of his experience together in this highly readable book." --Bill Rodgers, four-time winner of the Boston and New York City Marathons "A successful training program goes hand in hand with healthy eating.
