A laugh-out-loud, revelatory book for newbies, mid-pack runners, and DNF'ers who are freaking out about their upcoming marathon.

Marathons can suck. Sometimes that’s because of, you know, the running. But epic tragedies often result from dumb mistakes in race selection, training, fueling, and clothing—mistakes no one bothers to mention. Experienced marathoners have dozens of hacks to avert catastrophe, but that practical lore has never been collected up and vetted until now.

This is a crowd-sourced catalog of hard-earned fails encountered over thousands of miles of bungled racing. It's also a love letter for terrified newbies, heartbroken veterans, and weekend wariors desperately wanting to improve. Get equipped to embrace the suck come race day with:

50 common errors that ruin a marathon experience, and instruction on how to avoid them.
Detailed information on hydration and carb loading for training and racing.
Critical advice on race selection, training, recovery, and tapering.
Checklists to prep for the big day.
Lurid tales of disaster and inspiring moments of intestinal fortitude.

50 Ways to F*ck Up a Marathon! is an essential resource for anyone considering distance running and marathons.
