The non-runner's marathon trainer

Book • 1998
This book is based on a successful marathon training class offered by the University of Northern Iowa.

The program, developed by psychology professor David A. Whitsett and physical education professor Forrest Dolgener, guides non-runners through a 16-week, four-day-a-week workout plan.

The book focuses on both the physical training needed to complete a marathon and the psychological aspects of endurance activities, including injury prevention, hydration, nutrition, and mental toughness.

It is designed for individuals with no running background and aims to help them achieve the goal of completing a marathon, regardless of their age or current fitness level.
