Running for Mortals

I have the book Running for Mortals, by John “The Penguin”  Bingham. If you are a beginner and looking for sound advice and motivation pick this book up. I found mine at BAM or Books a Million. I’ve also seen it online. Click here for the link. I have to admit, when I first saw the title, I dismissed it. However, I went to BAM and found it on the shelf. It was just what I needed.  Now, I read snippets of it daily. It helps me stay motivated, which is a good thing.

Each chapter starts with The Penguin’s Pearls of Wisdom.

My favorite chapter, compares the running workout to a meal. The warm up is the appetizer. He says if you are short on time, don’t cut the warm up, cut back on the main course or the run itself instead.
