From the authors of the “run†away success Run Like a Mother, a
book that fans are clamoring for on how to train for a race,
including practical advice on all aspects of race preparation
presented with the authors’ trademark wit and empathy.
Since the publication of their first book, Run Like a
Mother, the authors have built up an engaged, vibrant tribe of
women runners--more than 10,000 fans on Facebook and an average of
2,500 daily visitors to anothermotherrunner.com--who are clamoring
for another book. At its core, Train Like a Mother will
comprehensively cover how to train for a race, including training
plans for four race distances (5K, 10K, half-marathon, and
marathon) for both beginner and more experienced runners; the
importance of recovery; pre- and post-race nutrition; strength
training; injury prevention (and rehab); and everything busy women
need to know to add racing to their multitasking schedules. It is
all presented with the same wit, empathy, and tone the avid fans
connect and identify with.
The book is divided into 13.1 chapters--the distance of a
half-marathon, the sweet spot for many mother runners--narrated by
both Sarah and Dimity. Like the first book, Train Like a
Mother chapters have plenty of sidebars, including Practical
Motherly Advice (helpful information about training- and
race-related advice), Take It from a Mother (advice and answers
from the growing tribe of running moms), and Racy Talk
(entertaining, race-related stories from the authors and other
moms). The .1 sections are entertaining "commercial breaks"
celebrating the sport of running and the added thrill of
racing.
