**I do not rate NF books**

Mini Audiobook Review: In the last 4 months I have taken charge of my health and have falling back in love with walking. But you know sometimes the right song comes on and walking just doesn't hit the mark so I started to run. And then realized I love the feeling that it gave me. I started doing my own pacing and deciding to start small with running to the choruses of songs and then eventually extending my time. 

I remember seeing this book pop up on the PRH Audio website but at that time of release, it wasn't something that was on my radar but I never forgot it. 

I will say this book is geared more towards marathon running whereas I just plan on being a casual runner with maybe no more than a 5k. WIth that being said, I still found a lot of what he provided in the book very useful. I did have the physical book next to me to reference certain lists and Evans would mention the website to obtain the coursebook with bonus material. 

I liked how honest Evans was in his approach to running and the mistakes he made along the way. He also would remind the listener/reader that he is not a doctor or licensed in any way but merely talked about what has worked for him and what could work for the new runner. I felt he provided a lot of insight and knowledge on running. It also doesn't help hearing it from someone who has a bigger body.  Like if he said it, believed it as opposed to someone who is all muscle and the size of my arm. 

I recommend this book if you are looking to run your first marathon or just want to start running in general!
