Product Overview

From the lead author of Build Your Running Body (the best running book everRunners World founder Bob Anderson), a one-of-a-kind guide for everyone who wants to run but feels they cant

As a drug-addled young man, Pete Magill once found himself in the ER, with his body telling him to give up. Taking up running seemed impossiblebut he willed himself to do it anyway.

Magill went on to become one of the fastest masters runners ever, and a sought-after coach. Over a glowing (albeit hard-won) career, he has heard every excuse people use to stop running or never startfrom achy knees and sore ankles, to advanced age and arthritis, to too many cigarettes or years on the couch.

In every case, Magills best advice is to do what he did: Run anywayat a pace and mileage that work. Through inspiration, science, and anecdote, Magill gets runners out the door; through personal action plans, he sets them on the right path; and through the best exercises to protect and rehabilitate the body, he keeps them goingshowing a way forward for new and sidelined runners who havent before realized how close they are to fun and pain-free
