About this listen

Dawn Dais hated running. And it didn't like her much, either. Her fitness routine consisted of avoiding the stairs in her own house, because who really has the energy to climb stairs? It was with this exercise philosophy firmly in place that she set off to complete a marathon.

The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women is a fun training manual for women who don't believe that running is their biological destiny but who dream of crossing the finish line nonetheless. Dais' audiobook features a realistic training schedule and is chock-full of how-to's and funny observations, which she felt were lacking in the guides she had consulted. She also integrates entries from her journal, sharing everything would-be marathoners need to know about the gear, the blisters, the early morning workouts, the late-night carb binges, and, most important of all, the amazing rewards.

Anyone can do a marathon. This audiobook just makes the experience a little more bearable and a lot more fun.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A great listen that really is aimed at women/people who haven't run before and who have never called themselves runners.
