I Hate Running, and You Will Succeed Too. How to Start Running, How Not to Quit, and How to Give Meaning to This

Everything you need to know to develop (or at least explain) your running habit
Brendan Leonard hates running. He hates it so much that he once ran 52 marathon distances in 52 weeks. Now he shares everything he has learned about the sport so you can hate it too.
Full of wisdom, humor, mood, advice, quotes, and featuring 75 visual diagrams, his book is a powerful jolt of motivation from a truly credible mentor.
Leonard describes the full range of feelings – from love to hate – that most runners are familiar with. This person knows exactly how hard it can be to get off the couch; he teaches finding comfort in discomfort and recommends combining running with walking. The author shares everything he has learned himself, following the philosophy of "Just, Easy, Smooth, Fast" and claiming that "any body that runs is a runner's body".
Moreover, Leonard is an authoritative expert on the practical side of running, from training methods to injury recommendations. He even knows the answer to the important question many runners ask: why should I do this at all? Very simply: running helps understand the meaning of life, develop patience, self-discipline, willpower, and prove to ourselves that we are worth something. And, of course, to burn off the calories from that extra bag of chips along the way.
