The Ultimate Beginners Running Guide: The Key To Running Inspired by Ryan Robert

Description

Each year, millions of people take up running and jogging for its simplicity, freedom, and the many health benefits it provides.  

    At the same time, many people also give up on running, and themselves, because of the lack of good information, or contradictory information.  They find running too intimidating, or are plagued with small injuries due to running unprepared. Running Inspired is a no-nonsense, methodical breakdown of the basics of running and, more importantly, the mental and physical training that will help to keep someone running.

    If the key to running inspired could be summarized, it would be: Have Faith … We could call this dedication, but people are dedicated to their jobs, their families, to paying their mortgages … dedication implies a duty or act that must be performed.  After running for awhile we will find (faith) that running brings with it a certain freedom and inspiration that a gym, elliptical machine, or treadmill can't even come close to … it is then that wonderful things begin to happen, and we begin to run inspired.

    This book has everything you need to get off the couch and start running.  The beginner runner will discover how to:

• Run with good form for maximum efficiency and to avoid injury.
• Build a powerful mental training program that includes a running journal and visualizations.
• Select the right shoes and gear for different conditions and weather.
• Eat simply, with suggested menu items.
• Prevent and treat common running injuries.
• Get past embarrassment and being self-conscious.
• Find support and encouragement in the running community. 
• … and much, MUCH more!

    With four detailed training schedules for every age and ability, Running Inspired will help anyone who is thinking about running not only get started, but keep running once they have started.  Whether going out for a first run, training for race day, or improving times, this book has something for everyone from beginners to more accomplished runners.
