If you have ever started a fitness plan and then lost your focus, this is the book for you.
Author Chris Edwards is a specialist in personal development. As a teenager in the 1970s he decided to run in an annual Sydney fun run 50 consecutive times. Today, as one of the City2Surf Legends, with 42 runs in this event at the time of writing; he is still on track to reach his personal goal.
This book also contains a link that will enable you to import Chris’ training plan into your calendar for the Sydney City2Surf, Melbourne City2Sea and other popular fun runs.
The author has designed this program to ensure that people can comfortably complete a fun run of between 10km to 15km in length. It is not a training plan for elite runners however the structure of the program could be used by more serious runners if they add more kilometres to the work load.
This program is ideal for:
• People of average fitness who want to train for a fun run.
• People who know exercise is good for them but have trouble staying motivated and sticking to a fitness program.
• People who are basically active but want to get into a solid fitness routine.
If you follow along with this training plan, it will help you get fit and lead to you feeling far more empowered with the added benefit of helping to improve your self esteem. If that seems far fetched, it isn’t, as you’ll discover when you read in the section on Mindset Shift.
This is a step-by-step 11 week training program, in four stages and covering things such as:
• Chris’ two golden rules of training and his three rules of diet.
• Calculating you ideal training level.
• Shifting your exercise mindset.
• Three important tips that will improve your running speed and performance.
• And Chris’ fun run preparation tip that can cut minutes off your time.
