There isn't much that is terribly amusing or interesting. Thought it would be more about just normal people running marathons. No. Just the history of the marathon.』
(26.2: Marathon Stories) 『26.2: Marathon Stories
This was the perfect gift for my brother who was completing his first marathon. He read it from cover to cover on the plane. He loved it. I loved it and I didn't run a marathon! It's filled with interesting and inspiring stories and neat facts. It makes a great gift for the runner in your life.』
(Marathon Books) 『Great book, especially for those who have run a marathon and can appreciate first hand the highs and lows involved every step of the way. Couldn't put it down.』
(Captures the true spirit of running!) 『I'm a "senior", "middle-of-the-pack" runner and been at this for 30 yrs, completed 7 marathons and read most of the books concerning the subject, but found this one to be truly original. Running is basically a simplistic sport but to extend oneself to the extent to complete a marathon requires a special effort which this book manages to capture better than any other I've read so far. A must for anyone interested in running or those trying to figure out what makes people do this crazy stuff. Easy reading and wonderful photography!』
(Must-Have for Marathon Runners of All Levels/Experience) 『As a recreational but devoted marathoner, (currently training for #9), this was an obvious must-have for me. Most books published under the Rodale title are generally just rehashes of old RUNNERS WORLD magazine articles, but this is definitely not the case here.
This handsome coffee table book is beautifully designed and offers not only inspiring passages we've come to expect in the world of the long distance runner, but breathtaking photography and insight into the minds, passions and heartaches associated with the sport. It fairly examines the good and the bad throughout the long history of "Marathon;" from ancient Greece to contemporary pop culture.
Divided into 26.2 chapters, it is a wonderful book for both the devoted runner and interested spectator as well. Would make a great gift.
I actually had an emotional reaction by the time I got to "the Finish Line." Just like in real-life! So this book willl definitely be a treasured addition to my library.』 『
An unprecedented visual and literary tour of the marathon throughout history
The marathon is the most popular independent athletic event in the world, with over a million people set to enter one this year and another 50 million cheering them on from the sidelines. This glorious volume is the first book to set the marathon on the large world stage and examine the historic and universal appeal of this ultimate individual challenge.
Hundreds of powerful images by such renowned photographers as Helmut Newton and Susan Meiselas, along with personal reminiscences from many well-known marathoners, capture the endless hours of practice and the overwhelming rush of emotion at crossing the finish line. Examining the marathon through the lenses of history, philosophy, sociology, athletics, pop culture, fashion, and science,the book salutes the determination and courage of those who willingly push themselves to test their personal best.

It brings the experiences of the pros/elite runners as well as everyday people who made a break in a way that sticks with you when you hit the tracks yourself. I find myself drawing from the stories in this book when I am out for a run and hit the wall.』
(Nicely done) 『The acid test for me was: Was the author good enough to keep me -- not a runner, not someone who watches marathons -- interested? She is indeed good enough; I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I do have one humorous error to point out: Robbins says that the men's winner, Martin Lel, ran the final 385 yards of the race in 31 seconds. Robbins (or her editor) should have put a calculator to that one. If true, Lel is not only a great marathoner, but the greatest sprinter -- by far -- in history. He would win a world-class 400 meters by 15 meters over his nearest competitor, and with any decent start at all, would also be a world record holder in the 100 and 200, chewing up 100 yard chunks at a rate of 8.05 seconds each. And this is AFTER running a marathon. I guess he'd be even faster if he were fresh.』
(It's not about running, it's about human perseverance) 『This was one of the best books I have ever read. Reading the stories from all the athletes, both elite and amateur, was truly moving. Robbins writing of these stories moved me to tears at times. Reading this book makes you understand all of the reasons that people run and how running can help heal a variety of wounds. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an uplifting story. And for anyone is has run the NYC marathon or plans to in the future should definitely pick up this book. It will make the whole marathon experience so much more fulfilling.』
(I ran NYCM 2007) 『I ran NYCM in 2007. Even though the crowd was bit much and it took me almost 45 mins. to start due to my seeding, I will not forget the crowds, the course and the music. I actually submitted an e-mail to Ms. Robbins when she was looking for stories. I grew up in Bay Ridge and saw the Verrazano Bridge being built as a child. To come back and run this race in my hometown was a thrill but my story was not as memorable as Pam, Harrie and all the others that are mentioned in the book. I started to read the book just before I flew to NY for Christmas and didn't want to put it down. I read about Fred Lebow's statue in Central Park near 90th Street and coincidentally came across it while we were up by MOMA one day. It just showed me how much research Liz Robbins did for this book - to find out the accordian player in Queens isn't Irish but Polish just blew me away. I have so much more insight about this race now. I see why it has become one of the most famous marathons in the world and I'm even more proud now to be able to say that "I ran the New York Marathon!"』
(Great book) 『If you like running and human interest stories, you will enjoy this book. Very good writing and subject matter about the 2007 New York Marathon with every chapter representing a mile in the race. Liz Robbins writes for the New York Times, which is a paper that is known for great writers. The book details every mile of the run plus interesting and heart felt stories about the organizers, the professional runners and the everyday runners doing it for their own reasons. Definitely a book you will enjoy.』 『
When 39,195 competitors thunder over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to begin the thirty-eighth running of the famed New York City Marathon, they experience one of the most exhilarating moments in sports. But as they cross five towering bridges and five distinct boroughs, carried 26.2 miles by the cheers of two million fans and by their own indomitable wills, grueling challenges await them.
New York Timessportswriter Liz Robbins brings race day to life in this gripping saga of the 2007 Marathon, weaving the unforgettable stories of runners into a vibrant mile-by-mile portrait of the world's largest marathon.
The professionals pound out the suspense in two thrilling races. Paula Radcliffe, the women's world record holder from Great Britain, returns with new resolve after having given birth nine months earlier; Gete Wami, her longtime rival from Ethiopia, tries to win her second marathon in just five weeks; and Latvia's Jelena Prokopcuka desperately hopes for her third straight New York title.
If the women's race plays out like a mesmerizing chess game, then the men's race quickly turns into a high-speed car chase. South Africa's Hendrick Ramaala, eager to recapture glory at age 35, surges to lead the pack as Kenya's Martin Lel and Morocco's Abderrahim Goumri stay within striking range.
While the professionals offer insight into the intense, often painful experience of being an elite athlete, the amateurs provide timeless stories of courage and obsession that typify today's marathoner: Harrie Bakst, a cancer survivor at 22, who is a first-timer; Pam Rickard, a 45-year-old mother of three from Virginia, who is a recovering alcoholic; and 65-year-old Tucker Andersen, who has run the race every year since 1976.
Enlivening the history of the New York City Marathon with stories of such legends as the late Fred Lebow, the race's charismatic founder, and nine-time champion Grete Waitz,A Race Like No Otherprovides a curbside seat to the drama of the first Sunday in November. Feel the anxiety at the start in Staten Island. Listen to gospel choirs in Brooklyn and the accordion in Queens. Bask in the delirious sound tunnel of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Hit The Wall in the Bronx. And overcome agony in the last hilly miles before arriving in Central Park—exhausted yet exhilarated—at the finish line.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (26 Miles To Boston - The Boston Marathon Experienced From Hopkinton to Copley Square) 『When I qualified to run my first Boston Marathon I was given a copy of this book. I had never been to Boston prior to the race.
I used this book to write my plan on how I should run the race. Each mile the author describes the rich history or the area, runners and insight on how to run the race.
This is a must read for first time Boston Marathon runners!』
(To The Finish Line) 『This book humanized one of the most famous road races in the world. It was a delight to read and thoroughly entertaining.』
(Contemplating running a marathon as a lifetime achievement?) 『I bought this book for me and my sister-in-law in 2003 when she and I decided to run the Boston Marathon for the first time. Yes, we were bandits as were around 5000 others who wanted to experience running a marathon in the premier marathon of them all. Because most bandits are not hardcore runners, it's a lifetime achievement that brings a level of pride and emotion that most people rarely experience in their lifetime.
I'm so glad I read this book. I was a lot like the author at the time I read it. I was a treadmill runner of around 3 miles every other day. After seeing the affect the NY Marathon had on a co-worker, I decided to run Boston. Through this book, the shared experience of running a marathon as a sub-amateur runner, and the struggle to put ones body in the shape necessary to run such a long distance with no prior experience was terrific. An added benefit, which made the process of running the race more rewarding, was the connection to the history of the race and events that occur along the way.
The overwhelming majority of running books are written to an audience of experienced runners. Thank you, Mr. Connelly, for writing this book for people like me and the 5000 or so other Boston Marathon bandits. 』
(Warning: False Advertising, Insulting -- You'll Feel Cheated) 『The author ran the race as a "bandit", a fact that you don't discover until you buy the book (it is not stated anywhere on the book cover, reviews, etc.) In fact, Amazon states: "About the Author ...MICHAEL CONNELLY competed in the 1996 Boston marathon." This is simply a false statement. Legitimately qualifying for Boston is an integral part of competing, and the author did not do that. He did not "compete" in the Boston marathon any more than I "competed" in the U.S. Open by playing golf as a tourist at Pebble Beach (a frequent U.S. Open site). This taints the entire book and made me (as someone who has legitimately qualified for Boston) feel cheated (I am going to request a refund from Amazon on the basis of false advertising).
Now, I recognize that the BAA has more or less allowed bandits to run the course over the years. As such, it might not have been that bad if the author had simply stated something along the following lines: he respects the talent and effort it takes to qualify and he recognizes that, since he has not done so, his participation is not the same as a legitimate qualifier, but he is nevertheless giving his experiences as a first time marathoner, not as someone who has properly trained and qualified for Boston. But, the author makes no such statement.
In fact, the author berates Marty Liquori for suggesting that bandits should not be allowed to run. Here's an excerpt from the book (p. 43):
"Listen Marty, you're our guest. So mind your manners, pick up your check, and watch the race. When I cross that finish line some twenty-six miles down the road, not with a number but with the storied history of the Boston Marathon in my blood, then I will consider myself qualified! (By the way, Marty, a little fun fact for you: You and I are tied with the same number of Boston Marathon championships.)"
Give me a break. This statement is not only completely obnoxious, it also embarrasingly demonstrates a complete ignorance of running, as Marty Liquori was a middle distance runner (and an outstanding one at that), not a marathoner. Here's fun fact for Michael: your claimed time of 4:30 (p. 237) was more than an hour slower that the qualifying standard for your age. (I guess, by Michael's logic, when I completed the 18th hole at Pebble Beach, I qualified for the U.S. Open.) If there was any doubt before, that should be enough for anyone to reject the book.
But wait, it gets even worse. After completing the course, the author states the following (p. 261):
"I had arrived home safe and sound. Twenty-four hours before, I had walked out of that door a different man. Now I was the proud owner of a Boston Marathon medal and all the physical and mental benefits that come with it."
That is a flat out lie (or the author is delusional), as everyone knows that only legitimate qualifiers (who finish) are given medals, and again is highly insulting to all legitimate qualifiers/finishers.
If anyone is still considering buying the book, there is one other thing that you should be aware of. A good part of the author's description of his "experience" in running the course involves describing how he faced excruciating pain and/or a nearly overwhelming urge to quit at numerous points in the race, but someone he managed to overcome those and keep going to the finish, and how he was suffering after the finish (e.g., "As I walked down the street, with two mylar blankers taped around me like capes, a well meaning girl offered me a PowerBar. I fel like saying 'I don't need a PowerBar. I need to be read my last rites!'")
First of all, after a while, this stuff just becomes constant whining. More importantly, all of this "pain and suffering" was likely due to insufficient training on the part of the author. Apparently, up to six months before the race, he had done essentially no running and not a whole lot of exercise of any type (p. 7). Then, in late October 1995, he had heart surgery and apparently nearly died (p. 11). He then starting limited training in about mid-November (p. 12). Plus, the winter in New England was particular severe that year (p. 43). How could he have possibly done the proper amount of training to run Boston in April 1996? It appears that the author simply had no business running the course and, thereby, "suffered" more than a properly trained runner. Yet, he never admits to his lack of proper training. (Note: he claims to have run 4:30, but he provides no evidence to support that claim.)
Again, this ties back to his being a bandit. As a bandit who had not properly trained, his "experience" is simply not representative of the experience of a properly trained, legitimate qualifier.
You wouldn't buy a book about running by Rosie Ruiz. Don't buy this one either. 』
(Runners Rejoice!) 『Never has a book captured the essence of not only running Boston, but mararthoning as 26 Miles to Boston has. The author's account of his run humanizes the event - and puts a face on the Boston Marathon like never before. In my mind any concerns with the runner's running status (non-qualified) are put to rest by the fact that the three greatest runners ever to run the Boston Marathon support the book with personal endorsements in the form of forewords. Also the Boston Athletic Association lends their own quote to the cover of the book further endorsing the author's account of the Boston Marathon. In my mind the Boston Marathon is the greatest race in the world. People come from all over the world to run in this event - some are qualified some are not. What makes it special is the fact that all are provided the opportunity to compete in the "Open" event. The Boston Marathon is not just for "elite" runners, but runners of all levels, nationalities and backgrounds. I love the way 26 Miles to Boston captured the special qualities of the race and intertwined the author's account and the champions' accounts of the race. I would recommend this book to all runners, marathoners and fans of the Boston Marathon, the elite and non-elite alike.』 『26 MILES TO BOSTON slips squarely into the running shoes and minds of the athletes as they traverse the 26-mile, 385-yard course of America's most venerated long-distance race. From suburban Hopkinton, Massachusetts, to the center of metropolitan Boston, here are the mile-by-mile sights and sounds experienced by the runners. Interwoven throughout is the colorful history of the men and women of manifold skills who have competed in this preeminent event over the span of more than a century. Profusely illustrated with photographs and maps, 26 MILES TO BOSTON is a book for anyone who's ever wondered what it might be like to run the Boston Marathon.
IPhone 3G used's review (Not his best) 『I am a big fan of Dick Irvin. He was a great broadcaster and also a fine gentleman. I've thoroughly enjoyed his previous hockey books-- In the Crease, Behind the Bench, Tough Calls. Those books have all given a humorous behind-the-scenes look into the game. They've had great interviews of "current" (at the time) players/refs/coaches. This book is more of a trip down memory lane. Which is fine (not bad) but I'd rather hear Kerry Fraser recount a humorous anectdote than Dick recall how Detroit was up 2 games to zero and then lost the series 4 games to 2.
Just as a teenager today might not appreciate stories about what happened in 1994, many of the stories from the 1940's-1960's were lost on me. I appreciate Dick's immense knowledge but this book just didn't grab me like his others did.』
(A Trip down Memory Lane) 『An enjoyable trip amongst the stars and events of the past as told by one who was there. Dick Irvin is a kind, gentlemanly figure who avoids any attempt at contraversy in his writings. This book is on one hand a refreshing escape from the "tell all" books that aim to rip the halo from its heroes; on the other hand, it is a santitized look at the past which skirts a number of harsh issues and unsavoury incidents. As one who remembers as a lad watching the Rocket on tv, it is like sitting down with a friend as he reminisces about your youth and the people you knew. If you didn't know better, you would assume that you and Dick had grown up together, knowing as many of the same people as you do. A lightweight book that is a good summer afternoon retreat!』 『Dick Irvin was nine years old when he saw the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time. He didn’t know, then, that he would spend most of his professional career watching, describing, and commenting on professional hockey. As the play-by-play announcer for the Montreal Canadiens for some 30 years, and as a member of the CBC’sHockey Night in Canadabroadcast crew for almost as long, Dick Irvin has seen thousands of NHL games. Some he witnessed from an improbably perfect vantage point at the end of the team bench. He saw many more from the broadcast booth in all the storied arenas of the NHL, from the Boston Garden to the Chicago Stadium– but especially from the Forum in Montreal.
In this book, Dick Irvin weaves together strands of hockey history with his own stories of professional hockey’s greatest moments, from the 1940s, through the Original Six era, the rough-and-tussle 1970s, the successive dynasties (Habs, Islanders, Oilers) of the 1980s, to the present age of limitless expansion. Dick Irvin has watched and been close to many of the game’s giants – those on both sides ofthe boards – and he shares his knowledge and keen insight with the reader.My 26 Stanley Cupsis a unique contribution to hockey lore, and for hockey fans, an unequalled treat.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (the 26th man tells a first rate tale) 『Steve Fireovid played parts of 6 seasons in the major leagues. I guess the best way to describe him was that he was viewed as good enough to almost make the team, aka the 26th man. This baseball diary explores the process of actually making a baseball team. The roster spots don't always go to the best players. Money, contracts and connections often affect the decisions of baseball executives. Fireovid reveals the inner workings of baseball and his struggle to make it in the majors. Despite the letdowns, he never comes across as bitter, just factual. In a world full of autobiographies of almost every star, this unheralded book, by the self-described 26th man, accomplishes what most of the others don't. This book reaches out and grabs the reader. You care about him and about others like him. This is not a tale of failure. This is the story of a true success, Steve Fireovid.』
(Must read for aspiring professional ballplayers) 『This book is an excellent text for any aspiring professional ballplayer. Decisions aren't always based upon the best talent/playing ability, a cold fact of life not mentioned much by recruiters and scouts. Wonderful reading for a baseball fan.』
(He pursues his dream with dignity) 『The author tells his story with an honest, easy going approach. It was refreshing to read an athlete who is not bagged down with an enormous ego. I was pulling for Steve the entire way, and I hope that one day his sons will pitch for the Phillies and lead them to the World Series.』
(a great true story - i never knew what went on until now) 『even though my dad wrote this book, i never knew what all went on. i think it's enjoyable to read, and very unbiased. i'm glad i read it, and it's fun to see my name in it.』
(A clear picture of life in minor league baseball) 『The author like many young stars in high school and college, started with great promise and expectations. But though he stood out in the minors, he never really got a chance at the major league level. This diary of his last year in baseball tells what day to day life as a minor league pitcher was like, and demonstrates that the system is sometimes as blinded by images, by prejudged expectations, as the rest of us. Fireovid was a better pitcher than several who were elevated, but "They were a prospect, I was a suspect."
I'm not really a baseball fan, but I very much enjoyed this frank picture of the life of a mature, thoughtful man making one last try for his childhood dream.』
『The average major league player currently earns more than half a million dollars a season. But, only 25 players make the big team's roster. The 26th Man details the season-long journey of Steve Fireovid of the Triple A Indianapolis Indians, as he deals with the realities and the heartbreak of playing a kid's games well into his thirties.』

Packed with color photos and specifics of each trail such as its time, distance, difficulty and what you should bring in preparation, it is the flat out most comprehensive guide you can find on the subject, even covering the history of the area alongside information on the plantlife. "26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western Cote d'Azur" is highly recommended for armchair travelers and hiking enthusiasts destined to travel to southern France.』
(I'm planning my next trip!) 『As a connoisseur of hiking books and having spent a summer during college (many moons ago) exploring this region of France, I was drawn to this book about hiking the western Côte d' Azur. The book is lightweight, perfect for carrying or slipping into a backpack. The table summarizing hikes by difficulty, distance and terrain will prove particularly helpful. Other positive aspects in the book include the color photographs, the useful contact information and the interesting tidbits regarding history of the area, plants and the like. My only regret is that our vacation plans this year do not include the Côte d' Azur, so will have to postpone putting this book to use first-hand. Maybe next year . . .』
(Makes Me Want to Hike in France!) 『I've hiked in France, but I had no idea what a beautiful and interesting region Cote d'Azur was until I read Florence Chatzigianis's, "26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western Cote d'Azur." Now I want to go there, her guidebook in hand, and try out the trails she describes so vividly!
Chatzigianis's book is not only informative, but also easy to use. She's organized the 26 hikes by region, which enables visitors to quickly find a trail nearby. I particularly like the way that the "Table of Hikes," breaks the hikes into categories of "easy" and "medium," and then gives the distance and time needed for each. And since I like to know whether I'll be doing a lot of climbing in the mountains or a bit of strolling by the shore, I find the small drawings showing the elevation range of each hike are also quite useful.
Chatzigianis's colorful photos are a rich accompaniment to the text. Not only are there pictures of the beautiful countryside, but also of the many historical and cultural sights that most auto-touring visitors miss.
Finally, I found that the "Aside" sections--short essays on such intriguing topics as "Hiking Under Water," (on the island of Port-Cros) and "The Cork Oak" (some of which you see on the Lac de l'Ecureuil trail), make "26 Gorgeous Hikes on the West Cote d'Azur" an indispensable guide for any traveler who wants to truly experience France's Mediterranean coastline.
