Synopsis

Tired of hearing about "tempo runs" and "Strava segments"? Does your loved one's laundry perpetually smell of sweat and regret? Then this book is for you (or them)!

The Funny Guide to Running pulls back the curtain on the ridiculous world of running, offering a refreshingly honest (and laugh-out-loud funny) look at what it really means to be a runner.

Forget the inspirational quotes and perfectly posed finish line photos. This isn't another training manual promising a PR. Instead, author Ricky Woods bravely exposes the universal truths every runner knows but rarely admits:

  • The Slippery Slope to Obsession: From casual jogs to meticulously planned "racecations" and a garage overflowing with foam rollers – witness the inevitable transformation.
  • The Gear Spiral (and Wallet Drain): Discover why runners need six pairs of shoes, a GPS watch that can track satellites from Mars, and compression socks for every occasion.
  • Race Day Madness (and Porta-Potty Gauntlet): Relive the pre-race jitters, the mid-race gastrointestinal gambles, and the desperate search for an available toilet.
  • The Bullsh*t Runners Say: Uncover the secret code of humble-brags, casual lies, and training tall tales that define runner conversations.
  • Injuries - Badges of Honor (and Physio's Paycheque): Why every runner Google-diagnoses their plantar fasciitis and keeps running through the pain.

Whether you're a bright-eyed beginner, a fully committed Lifer, or simply trying to understand the Lycra-clad maniac in your life, this book is your guide to the absurd, addictive, and utterly hilarious journey of running.

The perfect gift for the runner who has everything!
