The book is a good read and mainly has the Do's and Don'ts in preparation for a Marathon. It does cover all areas needed to finish a marathon up to 26 miles.
But, when I wonder .. I couldn't think of any other way an author could have suggested better. It would have been more helpful if there was more focus on the nutrition aspect of the preparation.
Narrator was a bit fast paced for me. I had to read it at 0.80x speed.

cue, routine and reward!

Fantastic book! The book gives solid real life examples with respect to corporate and individuals on how habits have helped research make better decisions.
On the other side, book also describes how to alter any existing habit or how to create new habits. The fundamental concept/framework is explained well in the appendix with the cookie example on how to identify your routine, cue and reward.
Narrator has done a great job in keeping the book interesting, right pace and clarity.
