Running Motivation for Slow Runners - How to shrug off comments about your pace, make runs less boring, stop talking yourself out of going, get through winter, and keep at it after your first 5K, even with no race goal #1012426

You can run. That was never the problem. The problem is the argument at the front door, the loop that has gotten dull, the comment from a passing car about your pace, and the dark morning when the bed wins again. Running Motivation for Slow Runners is for people who have already got past a first 5K or a beginner program and keep drifting off. It is not a training plan and it will not tell you to go faster. It is about the part nobody trains: wanting to go, and being okay with how you look doing it. Unlike a beginner running plan, a book on fitness after 40 or a marathon schedule, this book is about the mind side of the habit: pace shame, boredom, winter, goals, slumps and staying power. Inside, you'll learn: Slow is still running. This book helps you keep doing it, kindly, for as long as you like.
