Awful - waste of time

Having just finished the book - I felt I needed to warn others. Although there is now a review which sums it up perfectly. No depth no insights no help really - just a total waste of listening time.

This was just a complete waste of my time.....

What disappointed you about 52 Marathons in 52 Weeks?

If you didn't know the name of this book then my the end you surely would having heard it what seemed like 50 times. This book was a total let down. I was hoping for a week by week story of each marathon but nope, just reminders of the charity he was running for and the name of the book. I did listen to the end but it just wasn't worth it in the lease...

Would you ever listen to anything by Karl Gruber and HowExpert Press again?

Not after this book.

How could the performance have been better?

Bring out the book again and give us stories of each and every one. The highs, the lows and how its going.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 52 Marathons in 52 Weeks?

The first 52 weeks worth. There is no need to keep saying.....52 marathons in 52 weeks.....we know. We bought the book.

Any additional comments?

This boo was just not worth the read. I do like listening to books on running and this was by far the worst I have ever heard....
