Looks good at first...
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich I had an Atari 2600 awhile back, but the games and joysticks got destroyed in a flood. I recently ordered a bunch of cartridges, but I only had one joystick. The wire was touchy, so I started looking for good replacement joysticks. These ones looked great, so I ordered them.
When I got them, they looked amazing. Side-by-side, they were almost exactly the same as the originals, aside from the colors. These ones are all-black with black buttons, unlike the orange buttons in the picture. Not a big deal.
Then I moved the stick up/down, left/right, and it made what I thought was a tactical click, which was pretty cool. They seemed like very solid joysticks, until I tried to use them.
I started up a game of Combat against my brother, and about 5 minutes in, his controller made a loud snap. It still worked okay, but every time you would move the stick after that, it made a loud, annoying, broken-plastic crunch. My brother and I are always careful with our game controllers, and we were playing Combat, which isn't a very joystick-abusing game. I can only imagine trying to play something like Ms PacMan or Solar Fox with these controllers.
Shortly after, I was playing Demon Attack by myself, and my controller snapped, too. This was after about half an hour of use, if that.
Needless to say, I returned these and ordered a used original Atari 2600 joystick. They are made in the USA, and still work great after 40 years of use, compared to the 30 minutes these cheap "Designed in USA, Made in China" ones lasted. And you can find them for about the same price.

This is the book you have been looking for.
I will start this review with a bit of an introduction. I am a fairly new runner, and I have run 2 races so far, both half-marathons. My goal with the half-marathons was to break 2 hours maintaining a pace of 9:00 per mile, which I wasn't able to do. I finished in 2:04 in the first race, and 2:09 in the second. A side goal was to run 5 miles in 40 minutes during training (8:00 pace), but I always got tired quickly and never did it below 45 minutes. I was using a very simple training plan I found online for free, which is basically 2-3 (usually 2) short runs a week of 3-5 miles and a long run each week which in my case built up to a 17-mile run for a total of 20-30 miles a week. This made sense to me, and it did train me to at least finish the race in a decent time, but I didn't achieve my goals.
I live near Chicago, and my current goal is to run the Chicago Marathon in 2017. In order to qualify for the race, I need to run a marathon at 3:15 or quicker before the cutoff date for registration, which should be mid-April. There is a marathon on April 1 that I would be running to qualify. My goal pace is 7:15 per mile, which would result in a 3:10 marathon. Obviously, this is quite a goal considering that I haven't run a half-marathon under 2 hours, let alone even tried running a full marathon, but I truly think I can do it with sufficient training. However, I realized that my previous training was not going to cut it. I needed something completely different.
I did a lot of research on the internet. I heard about the "Hanson's Marathon Method" in an article/podcast and decided to order it and give it a try. It has a 15-week "Just Finish" training plan for newbies, and also 18-week beginner and advanced programs for runners with more experience. It also includes one of the author's own training programs for elite runners. I am starting with the beginner program and will be switching over to the advanced program 17 weeks before my race (skipping the warmup week).
I am only 3 weeks into the beginner plan, which at this point is still all "easy runs", but I have been running every day and have already seen huge improvements in my running. I have already completed my goal of running 5 miles at 8:00 pace after only 3 weeks of training. Keep in mind that the weather is getting a bit cooler, and 5 miles is nothing compared to 26.2, but even so, I couldn't even run 3 miles at this pace a month ago.
Not only does this book have a great training program, it also explains everything you always wanted, or rather needed, to know about running. Everything from proper form and stretching to fueling and shoes, proper tapering before the race, and what to wear on race day, it answers all the questions I had and more. I would definitely recommend this book to every runner planning on running a marathon.
