Runner's World: Marathon kann Jede*r

Your Path to the First Marathon

Endurance running is the healthiest sport in the world. It promotes cardiovascular activity, enhances overall performance and metabolic activity, and influences hormonal balance. Humans are made to run, but they hardly do it anymore. Martin Grüning and Sonja von Opel want to change that. In this book, they provide an overview of the history of running and the marathon, explain the key training principles and effects, and support the ambitious runner with nutrition tips, training plans, strength training, and more on the journey to their first marathon. Along the way, readers will learn about the positive effects of running on the body, gain a better understanding of themselves and their needs, and strengthen their mental attitude—beyond just sports.
