Run Fat Bitch Run

Product Information

I know people talk about the routine of run for 2 mins, walk for 1, then build up, but I did that, and this is what I've learned: the book method is better. While I'm now just heeding her advice and tips for the normal running plan and am not following her half-marathon/marathon training schedule yet (as I'm not preparing for such a race), I can see myself going back to the book and following her plan religiously when I sign up for such a race.

I've always wanted to run (I have dogs who need running, I have some marathon running friends) but I could never crack it. Ok so the title grabbed me when I saw it in the library and the general premise seemed ok and worth a read but in reality I didn't find anything particularly motivational or inspiring. The book could have been half the size, including the fact it has inch long gaps around all of the text. it's a tad embarrassing to begin with but people very quickly get used to the idea that you run and start talking about something else instead.The fact that anything worth doing in life is difficult and sometimes unpleasant (and that the two aren't necessarily the same thing) is important and often forgotten.

Discover Friendlier People, Social Connection, Saner Cultures, Lower Cost Living, Healthier Food, Greater Freedoms and More! However, from the very start it became apparent that “Run Fat Bitch Run” is all show but no substance.Also,the author isn’t even a trainer, nutritionist or expert on running other than being a runner herself and she’s never been more than a few pounds overweight. Definitions include: The idea that when you are annoyed by someone enough, you get annoyed with anything and everything they do, even innocent things like eating crackers. A great start for all novice runners - and you don't have to be fat to find this book a useful guide.

I also like the message that you seem to get throughout that you are important and you deserve to be healthy, you just need to take that first step. originally an obese, long-term welfare recipient but now more commonly applied to any very obese person.Despite all the negative comments and criticisms, this book delivers in one very important way - IT WILL HELP YOU RUN.

It's simple, basic advice, that despite every weightloss diet programme that comes out and every A list celebrity tries, it's the simple method that's been around since time began, and actually works. But the bits I did read just seemed very shouty, very much about telling yourself you are rubbish and can do better.I guess anyone who like me, doesn't need things to be dressed up for them, and actually needs to be given motivation and a kick up the backside; anyone who is prepared to give up making excuses; and anyone who fancies the idea of developing their own inner bootcamp running bitch. As a motivational tool, I can see this book working for some people (in fact, it clearly does or she wouldn't have written several more in the same vein). I didn't read a considerable portion of this book because it was about working your way to marathon running and I am not anywhere near that stage yet. Telling her readers that, unless they're in agony, they haven't got a proper injury, and should therefore continue to run, is frankly dangerous. This book is funny and its advice useful, but only if you've put on an extra few pounds because you don't have time to exercise or you've let yourself go a bit.
