The Runner’s World Big Book of Running for Beginners

29 Apr

Hello! I’m finally sharing my thoughts on The Runner’s World Big Book of Running for Beginners! (Below)

Thank you for all the comments on my Craziest Thing I’ve Seen on a Run post – the things you guys shared on Instagram made me laugh! A fish – no where near water. An ax?! I can go on…

I have a busy Tuesday going on over here, but first I started the day with a run. I take Sundays and Thursdays as rest days – unless I have a Sunday race and then I take Mondays off.

Just thought I’d share that in case you want to know my life story.

too much information

Today’s post isn’t just about the RW book. I also have a tip for ya…

Just the tip: Buy two of these bags. Then, you will have some left after you open the bag on the way home and eat them ALL. Hey, don’t the healthy peeps always tell us to “eat your greens!”?! Well, I did.

Runner’s World Big Book of Running for Beginners

A rep from Runner’s World sent me the RW Big Book Of Running for Beginners book a few weeks ago and I’ve been flipping through it slowly. The good thing is it’s not a novel so you don’t have to read it from start to finish in one shot. Most times I’ve opened it up to a random page and read some tips.

I realize I am not a new runner, but it’s always good to remember the basics! This was a good refresher to remind me the things YOU might want to read about too.

The book’s authors are very well known runner experts – Jennifer Van Allen, Bart Yasso and Amby Burfoot.

My favorite thing about the book is the #1 step of the “How to become a runner in 5 steps” chapter. I started my fitness journey by walking. I very very gradually found runner. And I’m still a big believer in walking for exercise and weight loss.

    I’m only admitting it because this is the internet and you don’t know me 😉
    It was called “Three Weeks with Lady X” by Eloisa James. I’m a sucker for a trashy romance novel now that it’s Autumn and getting colder (other hemisphere… So I could definitely use some extra running motivation right about now!)

    I read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It was just meh. But I read the newest book on Lance Armstrong earlier this year and it was fantastic. I can’t get enough of him and the controversy around him.

I also have my eye on “The Fault in Our Stars.” I’m currently training for the Seattle Rock and Roll Half Marathon in June, so this book would be a great help to remind me of the running basics!

    I have a bad habit of starting books, reading half, then starting another and reading half. So I have a lot of half-read books right now. But my most recent half read book is called Whiskey Women….it’s about how women are basically badasses and were important in the history of making delicious Whiskey what it is today! Holla

    Dried peas are the best. I picked up a bag at the grocery store this weekend but haven’t opened them yet because when I do, I know that I’ll eat the whole thing…

    I just finished The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling. It was a great book, not sci-fi, but her storytelling is so grabbing. Right now reading The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom. I am loving it so far and I think I’ll get a great lesson out of it about appreciating every second and not worrying about it either. And listening to Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere on my long runs, that counts right?
