This new book should start with the ＂damn＂ man!

"This book, but also from the’ damn’ man", heard the editor talking about this new book about running, Zhan Lujun did have some surprises.

But turn to page 253 and read the title "Run like her" again, and you will understand this sentence of the editor.

Illustration: Run like her, page 253.

In 1967, Kathrine Switze bravely signed up for the Boston Marathon with her initials "K.V. Switzer".

In the era when women were forbidden to participate in marathons, this name, which made people unable to see the gender, passed the application and got the number plate of "No.261" for her.

But on the day of the race, when Switze had just run 6 kilometers,Jock Semple, the angry race director, suddenly rushed at her to drive her off the track..

Fortunately, Switze’s boyfriend and coach were nearby, and they helped her push away Jock Semple, the competition director, so that she could continue the competition.

In the end, Switze finished the race in 4 hours and 20 minutes.She also became the first female marathon runner with a number plate in the world..

Slowly, the rules really began to change. In 1972, women were officially allowed to participate in the Boston Marathon for the first time.

Including the Switzer that appears on page 253,Running Like Her tells the story of dozens of female runners from different periods and countries..

They use their own language to tell their own successes and setbacks, important achievements and great failures, and of course, practical running skills.

Running Like Her is a "memorabilia" of female runners and a record of women’s self-awareness awakening. It is not only a book for female runners, but also a book for more female readers.

World-class female runners tell their own running stories:

Lynn Jennings, the Olympic bronze medalist in 10000 meters, who appeared on page 61, recalled the isolation in the training ground when running with boys;

On page 95, Paula Radcliffe, the marathon champion of the 2005 World Championship, described without reservation how a female runner experienced pregnancy and lactation.

On page 102, Tokyo Marathon champion Shintani Renmei advised all women: It is wrong to lose weight in order to run faster;

Some of them have had nine operations, some are mother runners, some suffer from anxiety, some are dragged off the track, some suffer from discrimination, some have been sexually abused, and some are trapped in family relationships …

However, in the face of illness, pain and doubt, dozens of top female runners in the world never flinched, but chose to persist for another second and take another step. With sweat and tears, love and honor, they give sincere suggestions and advice on activating life with running.

Wisdom of female runners, four keys to safety and efficiency:

Wang Liping, the Olympic champion, wrote when recommending this book, "The significance of sports is far more than a run, a yoga class, a climb and a hike, but lies in the feeling, harvest and energy in the process of sports."

In the situation of legendary female runners, there are how to cooperate with men, how to get help from the team and people around them, how to eat properly, how to sleep well, how to drive away psychological shadows, how to explore their own advantages, how to surpass themselves … and how to find themselves through exercise.

As a professional running book, Running Like Her systematically introduces the suggestions of top skeletal experts, nutritionists and sports psychologists, and gives four keys for female runners to exercise safely and efficiently, so as to help more people successfully cope with the unique physical and psychological challenges and activate their potential.

Read this book and talk to outstanding female runners around the world in the past few decades. They will answer you: How did she do it?

We know these successful women, who once fought side by side with them, and now we can ask them to share their stories as precious wealth for other female runners.

After running between the cactus and the boulder in Scottsdale, we happily agreed on a goal: we should write a book.

All you need is the right method and successful experience. You can find all these contents in this book, including practical information provided by top experts in various sports fields and interviews with many successful female runners who can inspire us.

Illustration: It was not until the Tokyo Olympic Games two years ago that the women’s marathon award ceremony appeared for the first time in the closing ceremony-until that day, it was allowed to be held together with the men’s marathon award ceremony.

In the dialogue with experts, there are unique physiological problems that women must face, especially those related to hormone balance, as well as psychological and mental health problems that many athletes must deal with.

Over the years, we have learned a lot. We hope that more girls can understand the unique problems we face in this sport, learn how to deal with them, and then keep running.
