About this product

Product Information

"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."Takeyourfirst 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 youcando it. John Bingham, author of the popularRunner's Worldcolumn "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 howanyonecan 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.

    Great title

    I've read this book before from the library. I wanted my own copy so I could mark the parts that are important to me. The title speaks for itself. As a "slow" runner, John Bingham gives you the courage to not only start but to continue. He understands the middle age runner who may be slow, but also any runner would benefit because he UNDERSTANDS the mind of a person embarking on something new, who may not be the greatest in the eyes of others. Very encouraging book.

    This Book Has it All

    Anyone who finally decides to get off the couch and start moving has to read this book! If you are middle age you can REALLY relate. It hits home to those of us who have let the years catch up to us. The book will keep you running ahead of the next 40 years. Very well written and plenty of good quotes to remember.

    Great for beginners

    If you are new to running, no matter your age, this is a great place to start. It gives the basics of outfitting yourself, clothing for various climates, and a broad training plan. More than anything, though, Bingham is know for his ability to motivate new runners. You will find yourself coming back to this book for the encouragement alone.

    The Courage To Start

    I read this in about two days. It was very helpful as a new runner. He could describe some things that I had felt, but hadn;t put words to yet. It made me understand the "back of the pack" and another way of looking at "the race". I would recommend this book.
