Summary
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.

Dawn Dias....amazing and inspiring with honesty and humour
Highly recommend for those training for or thinking of entering a marathon...I can totally relate to Dawn and her journey She is funny
open and honest about her experience. She not only tells her story but adds useful facts and tips you wish you had known before embarking on marathon training. Dawn also helped navigate some of those mental blocks and fears that come to all runners when training for such a long distance event. I will keep her with me as I plod my long runs

Funny and inspirational
It was perfect to read as my first Marathon book. funny and inspirational too, I loved the fact the author read the book. Nothing technical on how to run a marathon, but sensitive and relatable.

A must listen for non runner first time marathoners!
I am 4 weeks away from running my first marathon and this book has made me laugh so much. It has also given me amazing tips and some reality checks. I really really enjoyed it and would highly recommend for those taking on their first marathon that also don’t take themselves too seriously!

Humorous and shows practical ways in which anyone can achieve a marathon. No fast runners permitted 🤣
What a great book, the author Dawn was great a recreating her thoughts and how the pain of running will pass and you can reach your marathon finish line. I found myself smiling lots as I recognised much of her experiences were similar to mine. Her love of food and doing not much was something I understood but even those people can run (even slowly). Her running buddy chipper Jen was a delight, the relationship between them was, is clearly genuine and key to much of Dawns ‘angry or tense’ motivation out on the trails. Overall brilliantly read by the author herself.

Funny and relatable
I loved this. The audiobook was easy to listen to and the author/narrator spoke really well. She was funny and real - a great audiobook for 'normal' people aspiring to complete a marathon.
