Critics Review

Marathon adds fresh insight and certainly exhibits endurance with its fifth edition.”—Amby Burfoot, coach, author, and 1968 Boston Marathon winner

“Higdon’s Marathon has welcomed thousands of runners across the finish line since its initial publication in 1993. It’s a must-read for both debut marathoners and veterans looking to improve their performance. Higdon’s voice is synonymous with running, and the fifth edition of Marathon shows us why. This is a must-read for any runner looking to get across the finish line for the first time or the fiftieth.”—Carey Pinkowski, executive director, Bank of America Chicago Marathon
