Synopsis

“If I were to start running or jogging again knowing what I know now, this is how I would do it”...

“I started 10 weeks ago to work on a half-marathon, and with a couple of tips from this book, I successfully completed it injury free!”

“I have wanted to start marathon training since a good friend suggested it. This book is not only motivational, with its super tips, but has the best suggestions that a runner will encounter”

“As usual, Jim has written an entertaining read. This will no doubt save the budding long distance runner from a lot of potential setbacks!”

“As a runner returning from many years in the wilderness I found this read a insightful, inspiring and full of great stuff to carry forward with, would definitely recommend as standalone advice or to add to your collection in your running journey”

“No fluff just good straight-forward advice delivered in a relaxed manner. Well worth a look if you're looking to get better at running regardless of the distance.”

Sound advice and running tips should be taken from someone who has "walked the walk" ...... Or in this case; "Ran the run"

I failed the basic fitness test for army entrance on running alone, and I failed big time!

Several years later, I was clearing 1.5 mile running circuits in 8 minutes and 22 seconds and could easily run a marathon any day of the week!

Hi, my name is James Atkinson from Jimshealthandmuscle.com . I'm a qualified fitness coach / personal trainer and I have a fair bit of running advice that I would like to share with you.

If you are a beginner when it comes to running, this information will no doubt give you advice that will probably not have even crossed your mind before.
If you are already a runner and are looking to make more progression, you are also in the right place.

Always be progressing!

I know that it is easy to get stuck on a training plateau, so I have also added some information and training methods to this book that will help you leave the plateau behind.
All of the information that I provide is written from my own experience as a long distance runner.

I believe that by learning from my mistakes and my advice, you will hit your goals a lot quicker than making these mistakes yourself. Believe me; some of these mistakes can be very painful! As you will soon find out from the anecdotes that I am about to share with you.

So grab your running shoes and let’s get started!
