Marathon
Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide: Advice, Plans, and Programs for Half and Full Marathons | Hal Higdon
20 posts | 1 read
Especially in tough economic times, running offers an affordable and positive way to relieve stress and gain a sense of accomplishment. Marathons and--more than ever--half-marathons are the ultimate achievement for runners and have experienced an unprecedented boom in the last several years. New hunger for reliable information on marathon and half-marathon training, as well as new technologies that have revolutionized ordinary people's ability to train intelligently, means the time is right for a new edition of longtime Runner's World contributor Hal Higdon's classic guide to taking the guesswork out of preparing for a marathon, whether it's a reader's first or fiftieth. Since its original publication in 1993, Higdon's definitive manual has sold over a quarter of a million copies through all channels. The book is such a consistent seller for many reasons, but above and beyond all the others is this one: It works. At the core of the book remains Higdon's clear and essential information on training, injury prevention, and nutrition. With more than 25 percent new material, this fourth edition of a running classic will be a must-own for both longtime runners and those new to the sport.

Well I didn‘t make as much progress as I had hoped but I did finish Marley & Me and The Library at Mount Char. I also made progress on The Huntress and started on The Nightingale. All in all not bad. #24B4Monday

I signed up for #24in48 for January 2019! I've never been successful in a read-a-thon before, so let's see if I can make it work this time. Maybe I'll make that one of my New Years resolutions. 😅

@24in48

Eyelit Ooh, thanks for the heads up! I‘m going to go sign up, too 😃 6y
Sumtime77 Yay! Just got signed up. 6y

Ugh!! My #24B4Monday readathon was a bust, I didn't read nearly as much as I hoped. Having to work today, on my supposed day off, wrecked my plans to at least get close to 20 hrs. Oh well, better luck next month.

Thank you @Andrew65 and @TheReadingMermaid for hosting.

Erinsuereads Work got me too! I‘ve only got about 8 in! 6y
BeansPage I think you did a great job! Life happens but we do the best we can. I'm sure you'll do better next month 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻 6y
Andrew65 This is a great total, especially if you had to work today. Well done 😊🙌👍👏😁 6y
Kaye Good job. I think you did fine. This is the first one I‘ve tried so might give it another shot next time. 6y
CouronneDhiver Mine was a maaaaajor bust too. I knew I might be too busy, but 2 hours and change was way less than I anticipated 😂😂 6y

I finished my book goal for the year with secret committee reading so long ago that I didn‘t even notice when I hit it on Goodreads. 😂

How I am spending day one of my #24B4Monday readathon. I just finished The Troop, so I‘m about to choose something else. I never have a real plan of attack for these things lol.

Repost from @xicanti :

It's been a few months since the last #comicthon (had to account for the holidays and the #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon), but IT'S BACK!

On Sunday, February 25th, you're invited to binge on comics with like-minded Littens. Whatever you love is welcome: trades, single issues, OGNS, manga, strips, webcomics... you name it! There's no minimum goal, either; just read comics, have fun, and share your progress on Litsy.

ofbooksandme Yes! Last time I didn't participate but I feel in love with one of the graphic novels someone recommended here and it should be arriving in a few days so maybe I'll save it to read on the 25th 7y

My first #24in48 is going to be on the road! We're leaving tomorrow at 5am to pick up our puppy! @Lucas.Rencher and I will stay overnight in Coeur d' Alene Saturday night, pick him up on Sunday in Ellensburg, WA and drive back to Boise that night.

Crazy? Probably. Excited to meet our fur child? Absolutely! 😍😍

Anyway, Lucas is driving so we'll see if I can get through these books, or if I'll just knock out most of the drive. 😂😴

AlaMich What kind of puppy? 🐶❤️ 7y

Bookzombie That‘s exciting! Can‘t wait to see a pic. @24in48 is next weekend though. 🙂 Unless I misread your post and you are talking about next weekend. 7y
Rachel.Rencher @Bookzombie Oh no! I thought it was this weekend 😂😂 That's embarrassing 7y
Bookzombie @Rachel.Rencher 😂 It‘s okay. You are the second person I saw that thought it was this weekend. 😁 7y
RainyDayReading Ah Ellensburg. If you wind up being hungry while you‘re there, Bleachers has some really good burgers and fries (last time I was there they did at least) and a very filling bowl of Mac and cheese. Plus Winegars, which has the best ice cream. Enjoy your trip! 7y
Dragon Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my favourite books, enjoy! 7y

And so it begins. #readathon #24in48 @24in48 let finish the chemist.

JenlovesJT47 How does the 24in48 work? 7y
LibrarianRyan @JenlovesJT47 you sign up at their website and then you have from 12:00 am Saturday morning until 11:59 Sunday night to read anything you want. Your goal is to read for 48 hours. A lot of people use the stopwatch function on their phone to keep track of time. You post about what your reading or listening to. They do give out prizes (not that I have ever won any). People post what they are going to try and read etc. 7y
JenlovesJT47 Thanks! 7y
