Running Humor

Le running est un sport universel, formidable prétexte au partage, à l'échange et à la découverte... Nul besoin de beaucoup d'arguments pour vous convaincre de ses bienfaits sur le corps et l'esprit ! Mais encore faut-il que ce sport soit pratiqué dans de bonnes conditions et que certaines règles soient respectées. C'est la mission que je me suis fixé. Grâce à mon expérience croisée de coureur à pied de haut niveau et de coach sportif, j'ai mis au point des plans d'entraînement pour aider les coureurs débutants à se lancer en douceur et, surtout, à garder le cap.

As the 2008 recession hit, Jen quickly found herself with a newly purchased home, a fading freelance business, and an alcoholic boyfriend. To avoid slipping into an even deeper depression, she took to the streets. What started as a silly assignment (running and reporting on a 5k) soon became an obsession (running 50+ miles a week training for marathons). Running gave Jen focus, discipline, and a way to block out negativity; it gave her the confidence that her relationships with men never had.

Seal Island is home to a moonshine-making billionaire, a pot-growing fisherman, a celebrity flower child, a handsome romance writer, a sex-addicted realtor, a womanizing pub owner, a cop, a pot-bellied pig…and a serial killer. The island is serene and remote. It is only accessible by boat. The residents like it that way, until those with the deepest and darkest of secrets start dying in the most bizarre of ways.

Every marathon runner’s journey is different. You might have caught the bug after experiencing that adrenaline rush of completing your first 5k; it might be a desire to finally cross something off your bucket list; or, perhaps it was a bit of an absentminded afterthought while watching TV, crisps in hand, and a niggling voice saying ‘maybe I could do that’–it was for Vassos, at least. However far along you are in your journey, How to Run A Marathon shows us that absolutely anyone can take those first steps to defeating the distance.

Why not the toughest footrace on earth? The Marathon Des Sables, a week-long, 250 km self-sufficient sweat fest across the Sahara Desert. What could possibly go wrong?
