01 The Reality
There's an unspoken assumption that once you become a dad, your goals go dormant. That's a lie.
What everyone tells you
- “Say goodbye to your marathons”
- Your goals have to wait until the kids are older
- Training is selfish when you have a newborn
- You won't have the time, the energy, or the discipline
What I'll show you
- A 23-week plan built around unpredictable schedules, not perfect ones
- How to find training windows between naps, night feeds, and real life
- Injury prevention when you're running on 4 hours of sleep and a strained back
- Race day strategy from a dad who crossed the finish line, not a coach at a desk

9 chapters. Every one earned.
03 About the Author
I'm Tony. I ran the miles.
I'm a first-time dad and marathon runner, and I work in strategic finance in the New York area. When my daughter arrived, everyone told me my running days were over.
They were wrong.
I've run eight marathons — six before becoming a father and two after. My all-time fastest came in the first one after my daughter was born: the New York City Marathon, where I put every lesson from the previous six to work just six months into fatherhood.
I trained through sleepless nights, a back injury that took me out for two weeks, a pregnancy scare that put my wife in the hospital the same weekend as my target race, and the full chaos of first-time fatherhood. I wrote Marathon Dad because I couldn't find a guide like this anywhere. So I built it.
This isn't written by a coach at a desk. It's written by a dad who lived every mile.

04 What Readers Say
Dads who ran the miles.
“I'd run marathons before, but with a newborn I had no idea how I'd train. This was the plan that actually fit my life.”
“After becoming a parent I wasn't sure I could handle training, rest, and sleep with my crazy schedule. Tony's book gave me the confidence to just go for it — and he's super accessible.”
“Great for a first-time marathoner or a good refresher for the more experienced.”
“Most running plans overcomplicate things — this simply works.”
“This book has everything you need to run a marathon.”
“As I get older, injuries are always on my mind. The injury playbook is genuinely thorough — it gave me peace of mind through the heavy weeks.”
