    About this ebook

    Endurance sports, slow jogging or brisk walking in particular, are of great physical and mental benefit for the people who are engaged in them. By now, this is well known and widely recognized.
    What has not yet become so obvious is the fact that many who give up their sedative lifestyle and dedicate themselves to running, walking or working out in general, make mistakes because they want to achieve too much too soon.
    This booklet takes up this topic and is a guide as to how to avoid the aforementioned errors and how to master the transition to an active healthy lifestyle.
    This booklet is based on hands-on experience, so readers can truly benefit from it.

      Science Of Strength

      Dec 16, 2019

      I have lost count of the times I have heard a runner say that they don’t do strength training. When asked why, I almost always get the response: “I don’t need it.” I then ask “How many times have you been injured?” or “Don’t you wish you were faster?

      The Reasons Why I Wrote This Booklet

      By now, virtually everyone knows the famous Czech long-distance runner Emil Zatopek, who coined the phrase Birds fly, fish swim, men run. Equally well-known are the stunningly positive effects of a sportive lifestyle on the mental and physical health of human beings. As I see it, there is no need discussing this all over again. The reason why I have written this book and why I recommend reading it is another one: the average human being of today is one who spends most of their lifetime sitting – in the car, at the office, in front of the television screen. It can be claimed that many people have become estranged from physical work and exercise. Most so-called diseases of civilization can be attributed to a lack of exercise, a lack of movement. This fact, too, is no longer disputed so that it is not necessary to further promote this topic.

      However, what is still commonly unknown is that a lot of people who have come to the conclusion that they must change their lifestyles tend to make mistakes during the transition period. Quite often they want to achieve too much in too short a time, which leads to all kinds of injuries. This, in turn, leads to frustration and not infrequently to giving up the newly set goals.

      With this book I aim to help avoiding mistakes in the conversion to a sportive and healthy lifestyle.

      Unfortunately, I had no such advice at hand when I became a runner myself. I had to learn by trial and error and only God knows how many times I did the wrong thing and ended up sidelined by injury. Dear reader, I am positive that you can learn a lot from my mistakes and from my advice so that you will manage the transition to a runner, jogger or walker free of pain.

      I will describe in narrative form what I did right and what I did wrong. I want to motivate you to carry on and harvest all the fantastic and enriching experiences of becoming a runner/walker. This is certainly also of interest for those who want to take part in running or walking competitions.

      Moreover, I will provide advice and tips for a targeted performance training because, in my experience, competition - to put it graphically - is the salt in the soup of training.
