Not Your Average 5K: A Practical 8-Week Training Plan for Beginning Runners

If you've ever tried a Couch to 5K training plan that promised to work for anyone, only to end up quitting after three weeks because it was too hard, this is the book for you.

Building on the concepts taught in the best-selling book Running With Curves, Why You're Not Too Fat to Run and the Skinny on How to Start Today, Jill Angie gives you everything you need to finish your first raceâ€”and feel great about itâ€”including a step-by-step training plan that takes into account all the challenges of being an overweight athlete in a size-six world.

Where other training plans fail you, this book steps in and gets you to the finish line with ease, bringing out your inner runner girl and showing you that you're capable of so much more than you ever thought possible.

This book is for anyone who wants to complete their first 5K. That means you donâ€™t even have to be a runner right now. As long as you can walk for 3 miles, you will be able to do a 5K in two months. I promise. Also, this book is designed to train you to finish that 5K in a way that feels good to you, both mentally and physically. That means you can walk, run, skip, or even disco dance your way across the finish line. Now, if youâ€™ve already done a 5K (or twoâ€¦ or five), this doesnâ€™t mean you wonâ€™t get anything out of this book. Just the opposite, in fact. There is a truckload of helpful information here that will help you take your 5K performance to the next level.
