Why Would Any Sane Person Take Up Running?

In composing and illustrating my new ebook, I Dislike Functioning and You Can Too, I wanted to tackle plenty of the whys and hows of length jogging, for both equally longtime runners and those who are curious about performing their to start with 5K. The guide is not so considerably about unique training ideas or what footwear to wear rather, it clarifies why any sane person would, in the 21st century, run any farther than they needed to capture a bus. I use more than 65 illustrations to make perception of factors like procrastination, setbacks, soreness, and comparing ourselves to other runners, as well as to offer standpoint on a pastime that would seem strange to others and, plenty of moments, to all those of us who run, way too. 

The following illustrations all show up in the guide, which is out there for preorder now and ships March 16.
