I have started running recently and am in decent shape. I'm looking for a 'from the ground up' marathon training program with info. on running and as well as diet info. as well.

Thank you

Jeff Galloway's 'Marathon - You Can Do It' was my favorite training manual out of 4 different programs I read books on. He has a website too: Run Injury Free with Jeff Galloway: Your Complete Running Resource. Marathon Training, Half Marathon Training, 10K Training.. I just ran my first marathon Dec 10, 2006after 6 months training with his program and I LOVED it! He does include nutritional information, but I also liked Nancy Clark's Food Guide for Marathoners for additional food info. Good Luck!

Hi Tracey--

I am in the midst of training for my first marathon here in New York City. I have found "The Non Runner's Marathon Trainer" by David Whitsett, Forrest Dolgener, Tanjala Kole absolutely a wondeful guide. I wasn't ever a runner before but am now up to running 16 miles!! highly recommend it!!
