Are you a regular runner but don't think you have what it takes to run a marathon? Do you think you are too old, too busy, too unfit or too slow to ever run the legendary 26.2 miles? This book will encourage you to think again. In Running Mark's Marathon - The Making of a Mid-Life Marathon Runner, busy mum of four and self-confessed runner of very average ability Andrea Glenn journals her training for the London marathon in 2013 from the conception of the idea to the finish line (yes, she made it that far). Andrea was spurred to run her first marathon in memory of her brother Mark and over the course of the ten months following his death Andrea records her training experience as she is transformed from a once a week runner who has a few half-marathons under her belt to the proud wearer of a marathon medal. The everyday routines of a parent of young children carry on alongside and Andrea's story shows that it is possible to take on the marathon challenge in the midst of a full family life, the keys to success being commitment and a realistic training plan. Also included are accounts of the two further marathons Andrea ran in the year following London, the hilly Dartmoor Vale and Edinburgh, and a section with tips for training for and running your first marathon which includes advice on many aspects including choosing the right training plan, essential running kit and race day strategy. An honest, reflective and often humorous read that will inspire you to believe that you could run a marathon too.
