I thought this was a great little primer for those of us who feel like running would be good for them, but really have never liked it or been able to make a solid start. The snappy, humorous writing style was a big plus as well. Recommended if you think this might be a fit for you. ( ) First, I'm going to go ahead and agree with other commenters about how disingenuous it is to say that you hate running when you're on the track team and are otherwise an athlete. When I first got into running in 2006/2007, I had NEVER participated in any sport (except for downhill skiing) in my life. I was not an athlete and had a hard time picturing myself as a real runner, until I ran marathons. I broke my ankle in 2013, and literally every year since then have desperately tried to get back into running. I LOVE RUNNING. I've never thought it sucked. But every time I try, disaster strikes. My ankle flares up. I develop insomnia. A pandemic hits and my work schedule is thrown out of wack. Every time I try I get derailed by a health issue and cannot make the running stick. I have gained a ton of weight and feel out of shape. I need assistance, because I clearly cannot do this on my own. Yet, I still have the "spirit of the runner" in me. I don't need to start from scratch. I can go out and run a 5k (poorly) so it's not like I need a full-on couch to 5k program. I am looking for advice everywhere. I cannot find it. This book is for beginners, people who do not see themselves as a runner. This book would have helped me out a lot back in 2006. It does not help me today. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Running doesn't have to suck. Ease yourself into a comfortable routine (promise!) with this hilarious and approachable guide to workouts and nutrition from an experienced athlete. We've all side-eyed the chipper runners jogging by in their short-shorts and "Fun Run"-finisher tops and felt a little envious. How do they get out there and do it every day? How did they become Runners? Though it's theoretically one of the most natural sports for humans, the general response to running tends to be, "It's hard. It sucks. I wish I could do it." If you want to enjoy running, this helpful and humorous guide will get you started, keep you going, and teach you to "embrace the suckiness" (Hint: You don't have to run at 6 a.m. and you definitely don't have to wear short-shorts). You'll also find body maintenance tips, nutritional guidance, and running etiquette pointers. And, when you're feeling discouraged, Jhung's down-to-earth advice will help you stay motivated and confident. With smartly organized chapters that you can read in any order, this book includes insights from professional runners, sports psychologists, coaches, physical therapists, and Jhung's own two-decade writing and running career. Whether you're looking for inspiration or setting specific goals, this book has everything you need to get hooked on the sport. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
