A fun, fast, funny ode to the joys of hating to run. Inspiring and quirky, full of humorous diagrams and charts, it’s a must read.

Such a wonderful training book for those who do not think that they can run.
This book makes learning to run easy. The training programs and the explanations of how and when and guidance is fantastic. I will be recommending this to all my non running friends.

Running is serious exercise, but it shouldn't necessarily be serious business that turns you off before you even get out the door. Leonard mixes humor with some sage running advice in this quick, light read that is applicable to new and advanced runners alike. I personally identified with the procrastination graphic. We all do it, don't we? There are some definite lessons I'll try to implement as I train ahead of the hopeful return of races this year.

This book was just what I needed in my life. I also have a love/ hate relationship with running (and exercise for that matter). Leonard's simple writing and incredibly simple and colorful charts were an extra touch of entertainment that I loved about this story. I can't wait to purchase it for my permanent collection.

This isn't a how-to book on running. It's a book to help people who want to run but can't find the motivation. It shows how anyone can start to run and keep running. It has many good tips (like start small) and useful strategies on how to keep motivated. Very useful book for people who want to start running but don't think that they can.
