Over the past couple of weeks, I have been making some comments in my running posts about a potential new book coming out.
I've written a few technology books over the past few years but my dream has always been to write a book about running. I have had a few ideas over the year, but really wanted to give new runners all the answers they needed to get started running.
Lockdown gave me a little extra time to finally put some ideas down and after some hard work, I decided to delete the first version of this book. And after about three more months of writing, did the same thing again with the second version of the book.
I finally got to a point where I was reasonably happy with the content and have now released this book out into the world. The book trying to encourage everyone and anyone to run, with the main hope to answer all the questions new runners have about running, when they first start their running journey.
Ultimately, I want people to love running as much as I love it.
Taken from the Preface of the book:
The aim of this book is to get as many people as possible running, no matter what age, height or size they might be. By reading this book, it's hoped you should be able to gain an understanding of:
- How to get started running and create a lasting, sustainable and consistent habit. We'll provide you with easy to follow training plans and some of the details on why it will help you in your running journey.
- Help you with your confidence, motivation and mindset in getting started and try to help you build a lasting habit that will give you the full benefits of living an active life.
- We'll discuss how you can get the most out of your running by allowing your body to recover and making better decisions with the food you eat.
- We then take a look at ways to make your body stronger so you can get more out of your running and provide you with some of the ways to help you avoid common running injuries.
- Once you have established your running routine and habit, only then we'll discuss how you might look to improve your running and learn about different coaching techniques to take your training further.
If anyone knows of a platform I can use to sell this book using Hive, please let me know.
The book is available on Amazon(of course) but is also available on a couple of other platforms:

I've done my best to keep the cost down as much as possible, and think it is reasonably priced for the content. If anyone would desperately like a copy to review, I would be happy to send them a copy if they send me a message on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vincesesto/.
Now that I have a little more extra time, I am hoping to start doing a little extra run coaching as well. It's been a great process and I really appreciate some of the positive feedback I have already received so far.
