I picked up this book because I know Joe from a Facebook group.  As a regular marathoner, I love reading about other people's experiences with 'going the distance.'  I found Joe's book to be chock-full of quality training tips and information about completing the marathon.  I liked his emphasis on the Galloway Run-Walk method.  This is something I learned about 20+ years ago which I still follow during long-runs and difficult marathons.  Also, pay close attention to his chapter on "training gear."  Wearing the wrong shoe is one of the biggest causes of injuries.  So listen to his recommendation about getting fitted at a local running store.Overall, I'm impressed with Joe's "Goofy Marathon" feat.  I can't imagine running a half and full back-to-back.  It was a fun read, with tons of excellent advice.
