Hello, Start! Running Marathon Team! Can you believe the marathon is next month? I know you’re all training hard, and hopefully the cooler weather Chicago’s been having recently has made those longer runs a little easier. Keep with it! You’re doing a wonderful thing for yourself and for a great cause.
A few of you have asked me which running publications I read, so here are a few books and magazines that I’ve found especially helpful as I train for the marathon:
“Runners World”
This magazine is just fantastic. They have tips for runners of all levels, from novice to expert. I highly recommend picking this one up – they offer terrific advice on all aspects of running (training, equipment, diet, etc.) Great website, too!
“Marathoning for Mortals” by John Bingham and Jenny Hadfield
“Marathon” and “Running: Getting Started” by Jeff Galloway
These books have been excellent resources for me. They’re incredibly thorough, and they address many of the problems you might be having as you progress in your training.
I know we’ve got some folks who follow this blog who aren’t part of the marathon team, and I’d like to encourage you to make a donation to the American Heart Association at www.runwithheartchicago.org. Your support means so much to me, and every dollar you donate goes to a wonderful organization. Please consider making a gift to the AHA to help us wipe out heart disease and stroke!
