Everything you need to know to build (or at least explain) your running habit.
Brendan Leonard hates running. Hates it so much that he once ran 52 marathon distances in 52 weeks. Now he's sharing everything he's learned about the sport so you can hate it too. Full of wisdom, humor, sentiment, advice, quotes, and including 75 visual diagrams, his book is a powerful boost of motivation from a truly inspiring mentor. Leonard describes the full range of feelings - from love to hate - that most runners are familiar with. This man knows exactly how hard it can be to get off the couch, he teaches how to find solace in discomfort and recommends combining running with walking. The author shares everything he's learned himself, following the philosophy of "Simple, Easy, Smooth, Fast" and stating that "any body that runs is a runner's body." Plus, Leonard is an authoritative expert on the practical side of running, from training methods to advice in case of injury. He even knows the answer to an important question many runners ask: Why do I need all this? Very simple: running helps you understand the meaning of life, develop patience, self-discipline, willpower and prove to yourself that we are worth something. And, of course, it also helps you burn the calories from an extra packet of potato chips.
