From the authors of the "run" away success Run Like a Mother, a book
that fans are clamoring for on how to train for a race, including
practical advice on all aspects of race preparation presented with the
authors' trademark wit and empathy.
At its core, Train Like a Mother comprehensively covers how to train
for a race, including training plans for four race distances (5K, 10K,
half-marathon, and marathon) for both beginner and more experienced
runners; the importance of recovery; pre- and post-race nutrition;
strength training; injury prevention (and rehab); and everything busy
women need to know to add racing to their multitasking schedules. It is
all presented with the same wit, empathy, and tone the avid fans connect
and identify with.
The book is divided into 13.1 chapters--the distance of a half-marathon,
the sweet spot for many mother runners--narrated by both Sarah and
Dimity. Like the first book, Train Like a Mother chapters have plenty
of sidebars, including Practical Motherly Advice (helpful
information about training- and race-related advice), Take It from a
Mother (advice and answers from the growing tribe of running moms),
and Racy Talk (entertaining, race-related stories from the authors
and other moms). The .1 sections are entertaining "commercial breaks"
celebrating the sport of running and the added thrill of racing.
