Synopsis

It will cover all your questions about where to start and how to start. The author Annie has written this from her heart, enlightening others from her own experiences as a beginner. Now a regular runner and coach she now hopes to help others embarking on their own running campaign.”The author Annie Page is a qualified UK Athletics Running Coach, an NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner and a Coaching Master – who really enjoys running!She says “I had not run since leaving school, where I was probably one of the few who actually enjoyed cross country. I started running again in 2004, with a friend and we started off not being able to run for more than a couple of minutes and then needing to walk, which was great because the plan we were following told us to do just that (there is one at the end of the book).From there I fell back in love with running, with racing and getting out in the fresh air and enjoying the countryside. I joined my local club Ampthill and Flitwick Flyers and have enjoyed the camaraderie that goes with belonging to a fun, friendly, supportive and social club.I wanted to give something back to the club and so became a coach and have attended various UK Athletics run courses over the years to keep my knowledge up to date.”Content includes…Why Run?The basic equipment you will needJust before you head out the doorWhy the first 10 minutes is the hardestThe basics of running techniqueWarming up for your runCool down and stretchGetting your mind in your runStaying safe when runningRunning jargon explainedWhy should I join a running club?What should I be eating?Popular road and trail distancesCommon injuriesTop 5 myths about runningWalk to run 5K in 12 weeksMoving up to 10K (NEW FOR THIS EDITION)Drills and techniques for good running formCore ExercisesThe QuitterThank you’sPostfacePLEASE NOTE: This is the second edition, previously titled 'How to get off the sofa and start running'.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Annie Page is a coach and trainer who works with passion, energy and flexibility to “develop the potential within”. A qualified NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) trainers trainer, master practitioner and coaching master, she also holds a level 2 qualification with UKA (United Kingdom Athletics) for endurance running. Annie says: “One of my favourite quotes is by Arthur C Clarke – ‘The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.’ Whether I’m coaching business leaders, people within sport or other individuals there is always more within us than we realise and I love working with people as they discover their potential and achieve their outcomes. My running is my passion and it is great when you see people run a distance they didn’t think they could, get a new personal best or conquer a hill that had previously had them beat. Running also has another upside which means I can indulge in another passion of mine – chocolate!”
