Running Like a Girl: Notes on Learning to Run Review: An inspiring read. - Before the 'baby years', I used to run to keep fit and for the sheer enjoyment of it. Now, after 4 babies and 12 years off the scene, I have finally got my youngest into school and the trainers are calling me again. If I needed any more motivation, this book is it. Full of anecdotal humour yet packed with useful tips and information, this was an easy and pleasurable read. Review: If she did it, then so can I! (I hope!) - Being someone who is on week 2 of the C25K program, I was browsing about for some inspiration and reminders that I will indeed survive this beginning of a running program. I enjoyed hearing of Alex's nervousness and doubt. She's a good writer and I could relate to many of the feelings she talks about in her book. I do wish she had spent a little more time talking about the beginning of her journey. It seemed like she went from "wanting to die" directly to "I just ran my first 9 miler!" I still felt inspired by this book and will be remembering some of the wonderful thoughts as I plod along, trying to remind myself that I CAN do this. Thanks for the inspiration, Alex! Oh! Part 2 of the book has some great information on types of injuries, female-specific questions, and a few other things that, as a beginning runner, I appreciated. (and now I know my legs are not going to literally fall off, they are merely tired and adapting to this new activity.) :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #953,611 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #283 in Sports & Recreation Humor #785 in Running & Jogging (Books) #13,324 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,036) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.5 x 8.38 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1451697155 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1451697155 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | June 10, 2014 | | Publisher | Scribner | ## Images ![Running Like a Girl: Notes on Learning to Run - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71obZWVkUPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An inspiring read. *by C***E on September 7, 2014* Before the 'baby years', I used to run to keep fit and for the sheer enjoyment of it. Now, after 4 babies and 12 years off the scene, I have finally got my youngest into school and the trainers are calling me again. If I needed any more motivation, this book is it. Full of anecdotal humour yet packed with useful tips and information, this was an easy and pleasurable read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If she did it, then so can I! (I hope!) *by W***E on April 20, 2016* Being someone who is on week 2 of the C25K program, I was browsing about for some inspiration and reminders that I will indeed survive this beginning of a running program.

(and now I know my legs are not going to literally fall off, they are merely tired and adapting to this new activity.) :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made my first few weeks of running easier and joyful! *by C***S on April 15, 2014* This book has made me laugh until I could hardly breathe and cry just as hard. I have always been the least athletic person in my family. I was the one with the best grades and the nerd, so I found excuses not to even try physically in PE at school. I told myself it just wasn't my "thing," even though I secretly envied those who were athletic and fit. I started a 5k training program a couple weeks ago, and heard myself saying inwardly, "You can't do this. You aren't physically strong enough." Being a cancer survivor and having a rare lung disease would be easy excuses for me, but they taught me that I am stronger than I thought- and now I want to be a runner. Just for me. I want to prove to myself that I can use my body to move me forward, not just be a victim and suffer its illnesses and pains. This book has given me such courage through the first two weeks of training, and I know I will reread it over and over. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1816241-running-like-a-girl-notes-on-learning-to-run](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1816241-running-like-a-girl-notes-on-learning-to-run) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
