Additional The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training Information

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. It opens with a realistic training schedule and is chock-full of how-to's, quizzes, and funny observations, which Dais felt were lacking in the guides she had consulted.
The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women also integrates entries from Dias' 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 book just makes the experience a little more bearable and a lot more fun.

 

What Customers Say About The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training:

The author doesnt say 'Its easy, go on, be more strong.' She know really her stuff because she is/was like us. You know what i hate running. And its works. The way she write is book is really helpful, funny, easy to read. I found really hard to push myself. This book is like that.

We can't all be "Chipper Jen". All marathoners should not only read this book, but consider it an insider's guide for those of us who love and miss our couches. Dawn Dais is hilarious in this spunky, never-say-die-until-you-hit-the-couch, non-runners guide to marathon training. I read the book during my marathon training and it gave me something to think about during my many hours pounding the asphalt.

Instead of inspiring me to run, she just made me want to smack her upside the head and say "shut up already". And there is no lack of whining and complaining on her part. If that weren't bad enough, I've read enough publications from experienced runners to know that the little amount of advice she does give is misguided. I was EXPECTING a guide that would give me training, nutritional, and motivational advice for running a marathon aimed at women. What I GOT was a novice's 200+ page account of how she barely got through a marathon.

When it hurt, we knew. I LOVED this book. Running the marathon is no easy task however if we pace ourselves, listen to our bodies and be real with our outcomes, we can really do it.Good luck. When it was getting better, we knew. It was so funny and so real. She let us know how she really felt throughout the entire book.

While reading her story, I decided to look for a running group and found a local one (that meets just a few blocks from my home). It's a humorous tale for those struggling in their own journey.I will say she has inspired me to think about running a marathon this year. The humor Dawn Dais had to get her own butt off the couch inspired me to do so as well.

She's not an expert--and doesn't claim to be. I am going to a meeting later this month for more information. I won't be following her "tortilla chip and cheese" diet plan--but that isn't what the book is about.

I purchased this book just a few weeks ago and within a week had read it from cover to cover. It literally helped me finish the last mile on my 6.2 trek this past weekend. I am sure that if I DO decide to sign up, I will have to reread this story MANY more times to help me get through it all.

I have been running off/on for months now, but began to feel "alone" in my journey. While running I would recount tales from her journey and laugh hysterically.
