One foot in front of the other.
On Episode 61 of Brandon’s Marathon Podcast, I will be interviewing Liz Robbins, author of A Race Like No Other: 26.2 Miles Through the Streets of New York. I am so excited for you to hear from the author of such a fantastic book that give such an insightful look into the New York City Marathon.
So, to celebrate a great book about a great race, I am going to give away copy of the just released paperback! Since we are a month away from the 2009 NYC Marathon, what better way to find out about not only the race itself, but the people and stories of some of the racers!

I would love that book. That is the best race EVER!
Hey IronB. I just got caught up with your Ironman report and your interview with Kevin. I had to break up your 2-hour podcast into installments! Anyway, you kick ass and it was great to hear all of the perspectives around the event. I also heard you talking about this book and would like a copy since I plan to run it in 2010 or 2011 (depending on the luck of the lottery).
Looking for a constant flow of motivation as I up my mileage again. (Somehow reading books about people who run more miles than you do makes it easier to get through your own miles!)
Hey Ironman aka Brandon. I used to live in NY but moved in 2005 to God’s waiting room aka Sunny Florida. Watching the travel channel the other night there was a show called extreme races and one of the races was called the Empire State Run-Up held I believe in Feb. That looked so frickin cool man. Have you ever heard of this race and have you ever thought about doing it? By the way, I want that book man. Take care, I look forward to the next show.
Hey B, I used to live in NY, now I am in god’s waiting room aka Sunny Florida and have lived here since 2005. I only started running for about 1 year now and can’t imagine where my life would be without the joy that running brings me. I would love to read this book. I was watching a show called extreme races on the travel channel and one of the races was the Empire State Building Run-Up. This looked so frickin cool. Have you ever thought about doing this race? I believe it is in Feb. Thanks brother aka ironman.
Hi Brandon! Looks like a great book!
Looking forward to hearing the interview.
thanks
Hey B-
Don’t enter me in the contest, because I already have the book and I’m almost finished. It is awesome! I think all marathoners and future marathoners would love it! I am training for my first marathon right now–and it will be NYC on November 1st. So, I’m finding the booking incredibly inspiring and exciting. Can’t wait to hear your interview!

Would be a good way for me to commemorate my arrival in the Big Apple for my first marathon. Looking forward to hearing the interview.
NYCM 2007: how many sweet memories…. I still remember every single km I run. Simply a great experience that everyone -sooner or later- should live, I’m planning (and hoping) to repeat it next year. Thank you again New York. PS.Great show by the way.
Hi Brandon,
really like the new ‘look’ of the show (with interviews and post-race reports). I’ve been following you since Episode 1 and I’m used to listen to your podcast while I’m commuting to work. Very inspiring.
Regarding the contest: feel free do pick me for Liz’s book….just kidding of course.
Please keep putting one foot in front of the other for us.
Your website is amazing, such great information. Can’t wait to see the interview with Liz Robbins AND a book giveaway! Can’t get any better than that! NYC is so amazing. Love it there.
Heard good things about this book, that it’s a great description of the NYC Marathon. Hopefully one day I will actually be picked to participate in.
Hey Brandon,
Looking forward to the interview with Liz on Episode 61, I must say you are getting some really great interviews – LOL! Keep up the hardwork on a great podcast, when your having one of those days and knowing you still have to do your podcast, I gaurantee that you are inspiring more then just me! Keep it up my man!!
Thanks!
Kevin
