Product Description
Take your first step toward fitness and a happier, healthier life.
Has the idea of running crossed your mind, but you haven't acted on it because you don't think you have the body of a runner? Have you thought about running but quit before you started because you knew that you would be breathless at the end of your driveway? Well, put aside those fears because you can do it. John Bingham, author of the popular Runner's World column "The Penguin Chronicles," transformed himself from an overweight couch potato who smoked into a runner who has completed eleven marathons and hundreds of road races.
Forget about the image of a perfect body in skintight clothes, and don't worry about how fast or how far you go. Bingham shows how anyone can embrace running as a life-enhancing activity -- rather than as a competition you will never win. In an entertaining blend of his own success story and practical advice, Bingham provides reasonable guidelines for establishing a program of achievable goals; offers tips on clothing, running shoes, and other equipment; and explains how anyone can prepare for and run distances ranging from a few miles to marathons.
After all, in running and in life, the difference between success and failure sometimes comes down to a single step. Waddle on, friends.

Waddle On,
Ce commentaire est de: The Courage To Start: A Guide To Running for Your Life (Paperback)
Not just the Courage to Start, it provides the Motivation to Keep Going, especially if you're new to the sport. If you're a late bloomer, adult-onset runner, or just thinking about it, this should be the first running book you read. Waddle on.

Inspire Your Inner Athlete !,

Ce commentaire est de: The Courage To Start: A Guide To Running for Your Life (Paperback)
This book will inspire your inner athlete! An active life style involves mental as well as physical conditioning. Wanting to be more active is the starting point. Getting started takes an act of your courage. Set your mind in the right direction, and the body will follow. Bingham's writing style is entertaining and encouraging. The dedication to a goal that one learns through running/walking can be used to focus on non-athletic goals in life.

My Inspiration!!,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: The Courage To Start: A Guide To Running for Your Life (Paperback)
I found myself in this book. When things get rough for me I pick it up again. I found my mantra in the introduction and repeat it while running. "Yes I am round! Yes I am slow! Yes I run as though my knees were tied together! But I am running! And that is all that matters!" Truly inspirational!!
