Former Walker Hit a Plateau
I was a runner when I was younger but then I got pregnant and started to gain weight and I stopped running and started walking. I wanted to start running again to see if I could get back to my college age weight and I bought this book. It has been fantastic! It gives you fantastic guidance about everything you need to get started as a runner or to pick up running again after a break from running/jogging. The sections on injury prevention and initial goals are especially useful as it is easy to get all gung-ho and over do it. This book is well organized, well written and a must read for new runners trying to lose weight.
Motivational
Great info! I can't wait to start running and set my goal for a 5k! Lots of good info in this book. Just what I needed :-)
Running is a pleasure again
My only previous experience with running was in bootcamp. As you can imagine we were all required to run on a daily basis in formation. Based on this experience, I had never been a fan of running until now.
As I have gotten older and a bit wider (no typo), I needed to increase my excercise routine. My wife and I decided to give running a try and read this ebook. What I liked the most was the encouragement that the author gives. He recognises that you don't need to be a star right out of the gate, but rather push yourself gradually to improve over time. We started out slow, and over time realized that we could go farther and farther. Running is one excercise where you can see real and measurable progress over time. I like this book and will look at others by the same author.
