Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A Satirical Survival Guide for Anyone Obsessed With RunningThe Funny Guide to Running delivers a humorous and sharply observant look at the culture, quirks, and collective chaos of modern runners. Blending satire with affectionate insight, this book explores the strange rituals, over-the-top gear, and often extreme dedication that shape one of the world's most popular-and most exhausting-hobbies.Rather than offering training advice or race strategies, this book shines a light on the mindset and behavior of runners themselves. From the moment someone laces up their first pair of shoes to the day they declare themselves "between training plans," every phase of the runner journey is explored with wit and accuracy. Readers will recognize the familiar characters, habits, and phrases that dominate group chats, running clubs, and tracking apps everywhere.Inside, readers will find: - The stages of runner evolution, from optimistic beginner to seasoned veteran- A full breakdown of the gear runners buy, justify, collect-and rarely need- A humorous look at familiar runner personalities and the roles people slip into over time- Common runner expressions and what they truly communicate- A lighthearted analysis of tracking apps, GPS fixation, virtual kudos, and imaginary training zones- A guide to the emotional roller coaster of race days, long runs, setbacks, and mid-run overthinkingWritten for recreational joggers, marathon enthusiasts, and everyone who has ever claimed to be "taking it easy today," this book celebrates the joy, absurdity, and community found within the running world. It offers runners the chance to laugh at themselves, relate to shared experiences, and reflect on the universal motivations that keep people heading out the door-often before sunrise.Perfect for anyone who enjoys humor, sports culture, or the unique psychology of endurance hobbies, The Funny Guide to Running is a playful companion for the runner who loves the sport, questions the sport, and keeps showing up anyway.…
