About

If you've ever said: "Running isn't for me." This book was written for you. For most of his life, James believed he simply wasn't "a runner." Then life forced him to ask a difficult question: If you want to change your life, are you willing to do the thing you hate most?
After losing more than 150 pounds, becoming the National Body Transformation Champion, and transforming his health, James discovered that the biggest challenge wasn't losing weight.
It was learning to run.
And somehow, against all logic, he actually started to enjoy it.
Packed with humour, honesty, and self-deprecating stories, I Hate Running is not another book telling you to wake up at 5 a.m., run marathons, or become an elite athlete.
Inside you'll discover:
• How someone who hated running completed a 5K
• Why you don't have to love running to become a runner
• Practical strategies that make running easier
• The surprising mental battle that changes everything
• Why it's never too late to start over
Whether you're trying to lose weight, improve your health, complete your first 5K, or simply laugh at someone else's suffering, I Hate Running will remind you that sometimes the greatest victories begin with doing the one thing you never wanted to do.
You'll laugh.
You'll cringe.
You might even go for a run.
(But no promises.)
