This book is for busy people who can walk, but think they can't run and takes novice or sporadic exercisers from physical inactivity to the finish line of their choice. Inspiring success stories throughout the book help motivate you to begin one of three easy-to-follow, goal-oriented cruising programs: Base Training (3-6 miles), Half-Marathon (13.1 miles), or Marathon (26.2 miles). Just Cruising shows you how to avoid injury using the run/walk approach, how to build a stronger body through simple, at-home strength training and how to eat sensibly for proper nutrition and weight loss. Through well-written, reliable information, this book dispels myths and helps to inspire confidence for promoting lifelong physical activity.
