Whether you are planning to run a full or half marathon, Coach Kastor's marathon training program conditions you to set achievable goals, get in shape, and stay motivated. With an easy-to-follow 20-week marathon training schedule for building strength and endurance, plus expert advice from record-holding runners on what to expect, Running Your First Marathon is the only coaching you'll need to go the distance. Running Your First Marathon lays out a goal-oriented marathon training program with: A 20-Week Marathon Training Program― detailed day-by-day marathon training schedules and space to track your progress Marathon Training 101― advice and tips from world-class marathoners on marathon training, fueling your body, avoiding injury, and race-day preparation Motivational Marathon Training Boosts― from Coach Kastor and other famous runners to help you stay on track during marathon training " Running Your First Marathon will not only inspire you but also help train your mind and body to unlock hidden potential." ―Shalane Flanagan, Olympic Silver Medalist, NYC Marathon champion, American record holder, and marathon training pro Review: Have you been comfortably running 25 to 35 miles a week and you want to run a marathon? Read on... - First off this book is absolutely beautiful. Full color thick pages, wonderful pictures and illustrations, beautifully bound. Wow. Next, if you want to just run a marathon as natural progression from, well anything less, and you have built up a comfortable running base, this book would be great for you. No bells, no whistles, just what you need to know. I honestly believe this book would get you to the finish line in a decent time, dependent upon you. This book has one plan, and for each day of 20 weeks it dedicates two pages, one of explanations and motivation and one for training. Everything is spelled out. Chapter 5 is my favorite, strength training. It has wonderful illustrations on stretching and exercises and it also has a 5-day training program. It took me about an hour to load all of the information into Garmin Connect. I will use this with my marathon training. Running your first marathon, the complete 20-week marathon training plan is a no frills, you don't need this you don't need that just do this type of book if your goal is to run a marathon this is the book for you. If you plan on running more than one, I would say get Hal Higdon's Marathon, the ultimate training guide- mainly because it has progressions for your perceived level of fitness. But the quality of this particular book would be a wonderful gift to somebody thinking about running a marathon. Thank you Coach Kastor! Review: Best book ever! - This book is the best marathon training book ever! Short, sweet and to the point. I'm not a runner, in fact, I hate running but I got it in my head when I lost 100+ pounds that my next goal (bucket list item) was to run a marathon. I have completed (4) 1/2 marathons without the best preparation and have suffered greatly. My times are beyond embarrassing and my recovery time is weeks and I am crippled for days. This book though - God send! First step.... get up to running 25 miles a week before you ever start the training plan. Ding, ding, ding! It contains so much valuable information like what stretches to do - HELLO! Another one of my problems solved. I'm not athletic, I have no idea how to stretch for running! I have no idea what to eat, how much I should sleep, how to recover from long runs..... This book has it all! I wish I could report a successful marathon completion using all of the valuable information, but I am at the beginning of the training journey right now. I am just starting.... and that means, getting to 25 miles a week. I have no doubt though, that by starting now and following this book as my map, I am going to feel proud of my 2025 1/2 marathons and I will be VERY satisfied with the completion of my first full marathon! If you're wanting to run your first marathon....get this book! It's the only one you'll need. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #533,213 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #65 in Track & Field Sports #132 in Aerobics (Books) #267 in Running & Jogging (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 746 Reviews | ## Images ![Running Your First Marathon: The Complete 20-Week Marathon Training Plan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bJvO7DseL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have you been comfortably running 25 to 35 miles a week and you want to run a marathon?

So I bought this book. The plan is very specific and easy to follow. It also has general nutritional information, injuries, even how to select the correct sneaker. I will update this review after I complete the training and finish the marathon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61188095-running-your-first-marathon-the-complete-20-week-marathon-training](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61188095-running-your-first-marathon-the-complete-20-week-marathon-training) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
