(60,000 words). From the Author: We decided to write Running Made Easy because, although one of us is a speedy hare and the other a slow-paced tortoise, we're both equally passionate about running and keen to spread the word. We think that the secret of our enthusiasm is that we're continually finding new ways to make running fun, and that's what we want to share with you. While we were writing it, we got to talk to some amazing people who've gained an enormous amount from running, from Beryl who beat depression and agrophobia and now runs everywhere in a pair of fairy wings, to Julie who, at 19st, lost half her bodyweight through running. Julie kept a log of every run she did and even drew a weigh-loss chart to help keep her motivated. Inspired by this, we've included loads of colourful charts and a six-month running diary so you can use Running Made Easy as a workbook to help keep track of your running progress as you go from minute to mile (and even perhaps a marathon!) We hope you have just as much fun reading it as we had writing it. LISA JACKSON & SUSIE WHALLEY About the Author: LISA JACKSON is deputy chief sub-editor on Zest magazine. An extremely reluctant convert to running, she's now an ardent evangelist and has run seven marathons in fancy dress: London (twice), Edinburgh, Berlin, Paris, Rome and New York. Born in South Africa, she lives in London with her husband Graham. Running pace: Think of the slowest runner you know – then think twice as slow! Running CV: I’m a late-onset runner. For 31 years I was a fully paid-up member of The Couch Potato Society. Exercise? No one can say they loathed, hated and detested it more than me. In fact, I never once failed to drive to the corner shop – which was all of a two-minute walk! Then in June 1998 I was blown away by the electrifying atmosphere of a 5K race that I’d very reluctantly been cajoled into doing. I was surprised by just how much of a kick I got from the crowds, the camaraderie and the cheering. Soon afterwards, my aunt signed up for the Great North Run, the world’s biggest half marathon, and I was consumed with envy. Terrified, I threw caution to the wind and entered, too. Again I was bowled over by the thrill of having dared to challenge myself to run 21km (13.1 miles). Six months later, I tackled the London Marathon and had one of the most memorable days of my life. From then on, I was unstoppable. Six other marathons followed, along with an alarming desire to run a marathon a year until the candles on my birthday cake resemble a bushfire. SUSIE WHALLEY is features editor on Zest magazine. Having rediscovered running in her mid-20s after a long lapse, she's now run four London Marathons, and is currently planning to run the New York City Marathon. She lives in London with her husband Adam. Running pace: Average – not exceptional – but getting faster! Running CV: My earliest memories of running are of trotting off down country lanes with my dad to fetch the day’s baguette on family holidays in France. I wasn’t sure why, but even aged eight, with little legs that could barely keep up, I was desperate to follow in his footsteps and take up running. At school I waited eagerly for sports days, which I enjoyed just about as much as all the other girls hated, and every year I’d watch the London Marathon with tears in my eyes and dream of taking part. My ambitions got shelved at university (wild nights out distracted me!), so when I decided to start training for the marathon aged 25, it felt pretty tough. My running partner Louise and I couldn’t even manage one lap of the park at first, but we ploughed on, completed our first 5K race (I was so exhausted I had to sleep for two hours afterwards) and eventually took on the marathon. Once wasn’t enough, and now the London Marathon has turned into an annual challenge that inspires and overawes me every time I do it. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Made me breath a sigh of relief. Fantastic book!!I've been running for a couple of months now and even tho I was told that running was a case of...well, just running, I always felt a bit out of my depth. Being a very competitive person I thought the best thing was to run till I thought I would die, then try and run harder the next day. In the end, total burnout for me. As running is a such a natural thing, I didn't think there would be any books on how to do it, but I was amazed at how many there were. Out of all the ones I could have picked, ... Read More: Rating: - Buy this! You won't regret it!I've been trying to motivate myself to get out and jog in order to get healthier and fitter but haven't been able to. I received this book yesterday and hadn't even got through the first chapter before I was out jogging! It's so user friendly and is really aimed at those - like me - who have very little, or no running experience or those who have had a long break. The book includes tables/graphs to fill out in order to track your weight loss progress alongside a fill-in plan which allows ... Read More: Rating: - I love this book!I bought this on recommendation and have been 100% happy with it - it's full of incredibly useful information both for runners just starting out and for those who've been running for longer - my husband even likes to read bits and he's a hardcore 42 minute 10K runner of a few years now! For me, I am looking to lose weight and get fit and even I can manage to do the programme - it's so easy and I'm actually at the point where I look forward to going out. Really can't praise it enough! Rating: - Training made funIf your considering taking up running or returning after a long lay off this is a bright, fun and funky guide with loads of practical tips. The training routine eases you in and over the weeks builds your fitness up to running a half or full marathon. Its also full of inspiring real life stories to motivate you, a really good introduction. Rating: - If I can, anyone can!This is a truly fantastic book. I have been overweight and unfit since childhood and the thought of exercise didn't appeal. However, my sister is getting married later this year and I've got to wear a frock. Having stumbled on this book just after Christmas, I thought I would give running a go. It is truly inspirational, easy to follow and written in a way that makes me smile and think yeah - I can do it! The fist session I struggled to jogg for 60 seconds, but I kept with it. I completed the 10 ... Read More: |
