Synopsis

I CAN RUN is not a running book for 'runners' - it's the must-have running book for every woman who has ever experienced a moment of defeatism and had the little voice in their head make the excuse, 'I can't run'. In 12 chapters, you will discover that you can. You will dig deep to find your inner athlete. You'll learn how to train smart, recover well, sync your runs to your menstrual cycle and fuel right. I CAN RUN will ensure you never again wait until you're thin enough, fast enough, athletic enough, whatever-next enough to call yourself a runner, because if you put one foot in front of the other, repeatedly, you are a runner.

I CAN RUN recognises that this is hard and that committing to consistent training is often more of an accomplishment than the 10KM, half marathon or marathon race itself. You will find comfort and encouragement in Amy's experience of cramps, chafing and the occasional little sick, while learning from leading experts about how to set yourself up for success and get the very best from your runs both physically and mentally.

This book is real talk about the keys to going well far. We're all in it for the long run, together. We CAN do this!

By the end, I wasn't engaging in it as it wasn't relevant to where I was in my running journey. It felt like the author ran out of things to write about, and the publisher deman......more

Goodreads review by Kathryn on May 19, 2020

This is v focussed on those that want to run to join races etc. and assumes a level of interest eg in gym going which limits the appeal. A lot about disordered eating and behaviour. Some helpful points about getting going for beginners. Didn’t enjoy the interviews with other people, little of which......more

Goodreads review by Katy on February 06, 2021

Parts of this book are really useful and belong in a book about running, but I felt like there was a lot of padding going on and diving into vaguely running related problem subjects that were only going to affect a minority of runners. Somehow it felt more like an autobiography for the author than a......more

Goodreads review by Becky on March 12, 2022

Was perfect for what I needed - I, like a lot of people I imagine, signed up to a 10k without any running experience, and then panicked! Great book that covers the fundamentals of running and how to get to doing a goal such as a race or target length. A good accompaniment alongside Couch to 5k etc.......more
