The Born Again Runner: A Guide to Overcoming Excuses, Injuries, and Other Obstacles―for New and Returning Runners

From the lead author of Build Your Running Body (€œthe best running book ever€€"Runner€s World founder Bob Anderson), a one-of-a-kind guide for everyone who wants to run but feels they can€t

As a drug-addled young man, Pete Magill once found himself in the ER, with his body telling him to give up. Taking up running seemed impossible€"but he willed himself to do it anyway.

Magill went on to become one of the fastest masters runners ever, and a sought-after coach. Over a glowing (albeit hard-won) career, he has heard every excuse people use to stop running or never start€"from achy knees and sore ankles, to advanced age and arthritis, to too many cigarettes or years on the couch.

In every case, Magill€s best advice is to do what he did: Run anyway€"at a pace and mileage that work. Through inspiration, science, and anecdote, Magill gets runners out the door; through personal action plans, he sets them on the right path; and through the best exercises to protect and rehabilitate the body, he keeps them going€"showing a way forward for new and sidelined runners who haven€t before realized how close they are to fun and pain-free
