For many novice and even some experienced runners completing the 42.2 kilometres (26 miles 385 yards) involved in running a marathon seems daunting and too difficult to contemplate.  For those who have run a half marathon the thought of running two half marathons back to back may seem impossible.

However this short book has been written to demonstrate that most runners can complete a marathon and then it provides the information about how to go about preparing for the event, running the marathon and recovering.
