Book Reviews of Running for Mortals: A Commonsense Plan for Changing Your Life With Running
Book Review: Best Book I Have Ever Read....
Summary: 5 Stars
....simply because I can't stand reading.
I got this book because it was recomended to me.
I just started to get active again. I, like the author, was aging, overweight, and couldnt play with my kids without getting out of breath.
I started dieting, changing my lifestyle, and running.
The running part, was the hardest part.
This book, explains everything that will happen to your body. Lays it out, it plain terms, and really inspires you once you know what is happening to you, is normal.
I got this about 2 months into my running lifestyle. The first 2 chapters, all I kept saying is, "Woah, THAT'S why my legs hurt when I did this, Ohhhhh, that's why I felt I could go longer, and physically couldn't."
This book is a must have for the beginning runner.
If you are teetering on this, let me break this down honestly.
In Aug 08, I was 283 pounds. Today, 11/13/08 I am 240, and I ran my first 5k this weekend in 29 mins. My blood pressure and cholesterol have dropped DRASTICALLY.
I owe it all to running.
