Synopsis
At age 43, columnist John Bingham took up running and transformed himself from a sedentary couch potato into a marathon-worthy racer. In THE COURAGE TO START: A GUIDE TO RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE, he explains why he undertook the activity that led to his metamorphosis. In a friendly, conversational style, Bingham, who has been nicknamed "The Penguin" for his rotund shape and awkward running style, takes the reader on a journey that starts with the child's joy in running and describes how, like many children, he lost his pleasure in athletic pursuits around the time kids start to choose up sides for team sports. Bingham uses himself as the ultimate example of the fact that anyone, in any shape, can run and reap the myriad rewards. He blends amusing anecdotes with plenty of practical running advice that will prove useful for anyone from the rank beginner to the seasoned marathoner. With plenty of tips on clothing, realistic goals, and other training hints, as well as how to ensure that adult running captures the fun of a childhood race, Bingham inspires the reader to follow in his waddling footsteps and add fitness and joy to life.
