This book follows the same 16-week, four-day-a-week workout plan. What makes the success rate of this program so much higher than any-other? TJie emphasis is on ^e psychological aspects of endurance activities. You don't have to love to iun—you don't eVen have to like it—but you do have to resize that you are capable of more than you have ever thought , possible. One participant in the program explained it like this:
I'm doing this far me—not far others or the time clock. I just feel better v^en i run, plus it helps me to better cope with things in general. The skills we learned in this class don't apply just to marathoning^they apply to life! Just like you never know what the next step in a marathon will bring, so too, you never know what will happen next in life. But if you don't keep going, you're nev^r going to find out. By staying relaxed, centered, and positive, you can handle just about anything that comes your way. v ¦»
