Title: The perfect start
Review: This book is the perfect start for a non-runner, even running hater. The approach is kind and gentle with a focus on keeping things enjoyable while making slow and steady progress. What I found particularly helpful, beyond the non-threatening, encouraging tone, is the specific advice about how to move from walking to running by doing ever increasing (very gradually, mind you!) intervals of walking and running. I ended up buying the dual timer that Mr. Galloway sells on his website for about $20 and have found it to be immensely helpful. I read the book three weeks ago and bought the timer two weeks ago. I have already progressed from running 30 seconds then walking 1 and a half minutes for 45 minutes total to running 1 and a half minutes and walking 1 minute for over 60 minutes total. I am not huffing and puffing. I am actually enjoying myself. I must say, I can hardly believe it. I love this book.
