I was returning my library book yesterday where i chance upon this book.
The title is so catchy that i can’t resist to borrow it for a read.
As you know that one of my goal for this year is to complete a full marathon but…
i have yet to start on any real training and i left about 138 days(~4 months) to Singapore Marathon.
Maybe that the reason i borrowed this book. Hehee…
The author David Kuehls started by telling his father’s story and keep stressing that
Marathon in 4 hours is a doable goal.
Personally after reading 4 chapters, i feel that it is more of a motivation book that make things sound so easy. Oprah Winfrey was mentioned in the book stating that she ran her first marathon in 4 hours. However, i did a bit of google on the net and found that some information seems to be omitted out. Anyway this book required the person to have a base level of fitness before they start on this program.
I see myself as an average fitness guy and i don’t see myself fulfilling this 4-hours mark yet. However i will make sure that i pass the finish mark.

Well, that’s certainly a lofty goal to run in a marathon. I used to do cross-country running in primary school, but nowadays my running is spent in chasing my baby daughter around the house and shopping malls! I have a friend from the Netherlands who runs in marathons around Malaysia. Good luck!
