Starting Off On The Right Foot by CJ Hitz
Running

Description:
A Beginner's Guide to Running Well

No matter the sport, everyone has to start somewhere. The simple sport of running is no different. Running came natural to us as kids but for various reasons, many of us gave it up at some point.

In Starting Off on the Right Foot, best-selling author CJ Hitz (Smoothies For Runners) shares some of the valuable information he's learned along the way since picking up running again in 2008. After running in the 1989 State Cross Country meet in Eugene, Oregon as a high school sophomore, CJ gave up running for nearly 20 years before being drawn back into the sport.

In this book geared toward those new to running and those coming back after years away, readers will learn about...
·         Why nutrition is important
·         Pre-run nutrition tips
·         Post-run nutrition tips
·         Running to lose weight
·         The importance of fruit & veggies
·         The importance of the long run
·         Incorporating hills and speed into training
·         Dehydration
·         Running shoes and racing flats
·         Valuable things learned by several elite runners
·         Some of CJ's lessons learned (the hard way)
·         And more
As you begin this adventure of running, this little book will serve as a guide to help you enjoy this wonderful sport for years to come.

Let's start things off on the right foot!

Instead of telling you to market your book daily, author Heather Hart offers to come alongside authors to HELP them market their books daily.

The goal presented in "A Year of Book Marketing - Part 1" is to master marketing through persistence. It includes some basic book marketing material, but also includes book marketing quotes, tidbits encouragement or useful information, and marketing prompts for 180 days to get you started.

  1. Hello Heather! What a nice books to pick for this week. I am interested on the first book, "Starting Off On The Right Foot" by CJ Hitz and I think I would grab a copy of this one. :) It's not about just running that I am interested about, but the story behind the book. The story of Cj and the love of the sport, the one thing you can't just live without. Thank you for sharing this Heather :)
