The Born Again Runner: A Guide to Overcoming Excuses, Injuries, and Other Obstacles—for New and Returning Runners

From the lead author of Build Your Running Body (â€œthe best running book everâ€â€”Runnerâ€™s World founder Bob Anderson), a one-of-a-kind guide for everyone who wants to run but feels they canâ€™t

As a drug-addled young man, Pete Magill once found himself in the ER, with his body telling him to give up. Taking up running seemed impossibleâ€”but he willed himself to do it anyway.

Magill went on to become one of the fastest masters runners ever, and a sought-after coach. Over a glowing (albeit hard-won) career, he has heard every excuse people use to stop running or never startâ€”from achy knees and sore ankles, to advanced age and arthritis, to too many cigarettes or years on the couch.

In every case, Magillâ€™s best advice is to do what he did: Run anywayâ€”at a pace and mileage that work. Through inspiration, science, and anecdote, Magill gets runners out the door; through personal action plans, he sets them on the right path; and through the best exercises to protect and rehabilitate the body, he keeps them goingâ€”showing a way forward for new and sidelined runners who havenâ€™t before realized how close they are to fun and pain-free
