Today, women make up almost half of the marathoning population. Yet most marathon training manuals are written by men. And while these men are experts when it comes to how men can and should train, women need training programs tailored to our bodies—to our unique strengths and weaknesses—so that we can avoid injuries and run at our peak. Master the Marathon is a comprehensive guide to marathon training for women at all levels of running—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—that will help you unlock the strength and determination inside you.
Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind meets Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run in Runner’s High, an immersive, investigative look at the hidden culture of cannabis use among elite athletes (as well as weekend warriors)—and the surprising emerging science behind the elusive, exhilarating “runner’s high” they all seek.
