Running can and should be fun. As a runner of over twenty years (and a deep-diving nerd on the subject), author Sarah Austin Casson shares her best tricks and tips on how to get started running--and enjoy yourself.
In this gentle 3-month training plan, Casson takes you from walking thirty minutes to running three miles. The goal here isn't no pain, no gain, fast mile paces, or marathon completions, but instead, is to develop a new way to play and move your body: Running.
Casson knows that many of us are used to thinking of running as punishment, but it doesn't have to be that way. With this book, she'll hold your hand along the way as you build your running capabilities over time.
Instead of getting stuck with common beginner-runner problems, falling down internet rabbit holes or looking to questionable forum postings on how to get started running, you can turn to this book. It contains everything you might need to know about getting started running--the gear, knowledge, and training plan. And it does so by gently holding your hand in a friendly, encouraging way.
If you've ever been curious about running or want to get back into moving your body in an enjoyable way, this book is for you!
