Running Book Reviews with Alan and Liz – Run Faster Marathons by Chris Knighton

Published by Coach Chris Knighton on


I was honored to be a guest on Running Book Reviews with Alan and Liz to discuss my book, Run Faster Marathons: The Proven Path to PR!

About the episode:

Run Faster Marathons is dedicated to providing advice that you can incorporate onto your marathon training, to make you faster. The information is divided into 3 sections:

  1. Essential Concepts for Marathon Success – Which talks about knowing your “why?”, some running rules, the right way to increase mileage, improving running form, and the importance of a good warm-up.

  2. The Six Phases of Marathon Training – Which explains each of the 6 phases of marathon training starting with base building, and ending with post-race recovery.

  3. Supplemental Practices to Go Beyond “Just Running.” – Which talks about strength training, stretching, massage, and choosing running shoes.

Run Faster Marathons is just the facts without all the stories about study results etc., and so you can read it quickly and get started with implementing some of the advice.
