Scream if You Want to Run FASTER

by Julie Creffield

Are you too embarrassed to join a running club for fear of getting left behind? Perhaps you have been running for a while now but are sick of always being the slow one plodding at the back? Or maybe you are just done with being dead last at every event you enter. Well now is the time to pull on your big girl superhero pants, summon your inner warrior princess and unleash the beast inside you in an exciting, awe inspiring quest to discover your faster than you ever imagined 5K. Scream if you want to Run Faster dispels the myth that improving your running speed as a plus sized runner is impossible...or even remotely difficult. With a simple change in attitude and a new found belief that you can actually improve this book with its 7 simple techniques will absolutely transform your pace and running confidence...and in just 60 days. This book also helps you to identify the villains in the running world and highlights the unhelpful barriers we place upon ourselves when it comes to speed and running confidence, and absolutely forbids you to use the S word ever again. The techniques in this book were tested on 100 women from the Fat Girls Guide to Running community, and the results were incredible, with most women who completed the programme knocking 5% off their time, but many smashed this eliminating between 5 and 10 minutes off of their initial 5k baseline times. Who is the Author Julie Creffield is an award winning blogger, author, life coach and entrepreneur behind the Too Fat to Run global movement. She runs the worlds only online running club for plus size women, and has clients from every continent in the world. Her online programmes helps women at every stage of their journey whether starting out wanting to conquer the 5k distance, or women training for their first marathon...and her super incredible members taking on ultra marathons and Iron Mans. Julie has been running for more than 10 years now and has done 3 full marathons, a Tough Mudder and hundreds of other races at a range of distances...and all in her plus size body. Using the techniques in this book she took her 5k time from almost 50 minutes to 30.06....and is now focussing on getting a sub 60 minute 10K for 2017.

It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it was an interesting read even if i did skim quite a few parts.

I might have a look at the authors blog.

Funny & very real in terms of what thoughts & fears reverberate through your mind as a female runner. Some useful tips & I especially loved the conclusion, which hit some sweet spots in terms of my own thinking.

[Carianne Carleo-Evangelist · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as her subsequent book. Seemed to get lost in the minutiae in her efforts to avoid jargon. Some useful tips, but not an overall helpful book. Maybe would have felt differently if I hadn't just read her prior

Makes sense!

I love the positive outlook, I really hope it gives me the confidence to stop calling myself a slow runner. I'm a runner!

Just a bit shouty and repetitive. Some nuggets but I found the tone irksome

Down to earth read

Some good tips on this book and the point that a lot of strength comes from mind over matter.
You need to be able to be running 5k non stop though to benefit the most from this.
