Summary: Sound advise
Comment: I have read and used Hendersons marathon training program with some success ( 3.06 in 1992 ). The first long run is not 14 miles but instead it is assumed that you have run a half marathon and have trained and adapted to running 12 miles prior to starting this program. The program is simple, yet it works. The book itself is vintage Henderson, a great read.

Summary: This is not a training book
Comment: This book will not give you ideas on how to train for a marathon. Unless you are ready to run 12-14 miles this Saturday for your first long run it is not for you. The training guide show a 12-14 mile Saturday run the first week. Great advice for the beginners Joe.

This is a guide for you to fill out your miles as you run them not really a training program. It has very little substance on training and advice that is helpful to anyone getting ready for their first couple marathons.

The only good news is I bought it used on Amazon.com for $. If you want it you can have it for free, it will not help you. If you want a running diary to put your miles in their is a new thing called a calendar that you can put them in.

Summary: I have successfully run three marathons following this book
Comment: ...and I am working on my fourth. I find the journal format to be very helpful, as well as the weekly workout assignments, articles, tips and recommendations. The three different training plans make this workable for different levels of runners. Although this book might not be ideal for an absolute beginner, it is a good one for the average runner who wants a simple, realistic way to prepare for a marathon without having to turn his or her life over to training.
