Running Made Easy

This book has changed the way I see running and has inspired me to train for a marathon. It's so incredibly helpful and motivatingThere isn't one person I haven't showed it to who hasn't wanted to start running. This includes my flatmate, her dad, her little sister, my mom, and my best friend. The enthusiastic approach, stories of inspiration, charts, and running plans for every stage of runner has turned it into something I read and use every day. It's the best.

I bought this book in March and I have been running ever since. I was an overweight asthmatic who hated to exercise but was determined to get fit. This book made it easy to start running with their 60-second-secret plan. They have you run for 60 seconds, walk for 3 minutes and repeat three times. Each week you repeat more times or run for longer stretches of time. I found it easy to get going and stay motivated. With the help of this book I have now been running for over 4 months and can run for 13 minutes, walk two minutes and repeat twice!

I love the format of "Running made easy" it's modern, exciting and filled with practical advice and information that's fun to read and mostimportantly easy to apply. This is the first book on running that I really enjoyed reading and the only book I continually refer to. The book has a wealth of information on all aspects of running. The personal stories of other runners achievements were exactly what I needed to motivate me to start running again and with this book as a handy reference I trained for and succesfully completed my first marathon. I highly recommend this book to both existing runners and those considering taking up running.
