Run for Your Life

This book has seriously been life changing.

I decided to start running as a form of self care so decided to find an audio book to accompany me on runs. I am so grateful i found this one as i get so absorbed in it every run! I have managed to run for an hour everyday which i would have thought impossible. I always thought i hated running until I actually started doing it. I found a pace, location and time that suits me and I haven't looked back since.

As someone who couldn't run for more than 2 minutes straight on a treadmill, i was astonished to be able to run 10,15,20,30 minutes straight. Even when i stop it is never for long as i want to get back into the flow of things.

This book has transformed the way i see myself and made me able to surrender. I see things as a chance to discover and explore rather than setting limits, expectations and goals. If i had set out to run 5k a day for a week, I would have surly failed but just by exploring this is exactly what i've done. I have discovered so much about myself and am truly sad the book is over.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Especially those who need to get some headspace and reconnect with their body and nature.

There are also some great quotes in here!

The narrator has a pleasant voice.
I think the title may make non-runners think this book is just for runners. However the principles he outlines can be applied to any form of exercise and wellbeing practice.
The book is also full of mindfulness theory so great for people who like this genre.
A great addition.
I also thought Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) he introduces could be re-worded Dynamic Training Therapy (DTT).
