I Hate Running... (the book)

Let's be real: most days running feels like punishment, not passion. Brendan Leonard's brutally honest book cuts through the motivational nonsense and admits what every serious runner knows—only four days a year are actually ideal for pounding the pavement, and the rest? Pure grit. If you've ever questioned why you run when you clearly despise it, Leonard's dark comedy and battle-tested strategies might just be the permission slip you need to keep showing up anyway.

We talk a lot about running, but who are we kidding? A lot of people hate running and look for every excuse to get out of it. Look no further. In his hilarious book, I Hate Running, and You Can Too, Brendan Leonard breaks down a calendar to explain why there’s only 4 days per year that are absolutely perfect for running. Every other day sucks! 

His hatred for running didn't stop Brendan from once logging  fifty-two marathon-length runs in fifty-two weeks. So, you can tell this is more of a love-hate relationship with running, which most of us can appreciate. Learn helpful tips for finding motivation to run on your most difficult days and ways to hate each run a little less. 

I Hate Running, and You Can Too is available on Kindle and in paperback at Amazon.
