Description
Starting in May of 1979 Kevin Boyle set off on six-decade journey to see the world on foot, 26 miles at a time. This whimsical book tells the tale of this journey highlighting races along the way, as well as offering tips to both first time runners as well as experienced marathoners. Focusing on one marathon per decade, the author not only provides amusing anecdotes of both the training and actual races, he offers an in depth analysis of how the marathon has changed over the years. From his Dad passing him a can of coke at mile marker 20 in 1979 for hydration, to today's high tech hydration systems he traces this and other changes in the event. He also recounts experiencing the lows in the marathon to include running in the 2013 Boston Marathon marred by bombings.
Spanning six decades this book appeals to high school runners, collegiate runners, recreational runners and masters runners. Always stressing positive mental attitude and flexibility, this book will leave the reader laughing while at the same time feeling ready to take on the challenge of their first, or next, race.
