Inspiration and practical tips for runners who prioritize enjoyment
over pace and embrace their place as an "average" runner
In her first book, popular runner blogger Amanda Brooks lays out the
path to finding greater fulfillment in running for those who consider
themselves "middle of the pack runners" -- they're not trying to win
Boston (or even qualify for Boston); they just want to get strong and
stay injury-free so they can continue to enjoy running.
Run to the Finish is not your typical running book. While it is filled
with useful strategic training advice throughout, at its core, it is
about embracing your place in the middle of the pack with humor and
learning to love the run you've got without comparing yourself to other
runners. Mixing practical advice like understanding the discomfort vs.
pain, the mental side of running, and movements to treat the most common
injuries with more playful elements such as "Favorite hilarious marathon
signs" and "Weird Thoughts We all Have at the Start Line," Brooks is the
down-to-earth, inspiring guide for everyone who wants to be happier with
their run.
