Resources

New to running? Or to marathoning? Perhaps a veteran but still looking for additional assistance,  commiseration, or information on various challenges out there? Here's a partial list for you. Please add a comment with additional resources that you don't see on this list; lord knows, this is nowhere near an exhaustive list.

• Marathon: You Can Do It (by Jeff Galloway) -- he has plans for lots of distances, related to his run-walk-run method
