Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run

Introducing Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run

A practical guide and a celebration of running for runners of all sizes and athletic abilities, from the founder of the Slow AF Run Club.
This book is a blueprint for those who may not fit the image of a “traditional” runner—that is, someone who is larger in size, less athletic, out of shape, or dealing with any kind of health issue that slows them down—to feel empowered to lace up their shoes and embrace the body they have right now.
This practical handbook contains specialized advice to make getting started less intimidating, covering everything from gear and nutrition to training schedules, recovery tips, races (it’s okay to come in DFL! [i.e., dead f*cking last]), and finding a running group.
Full of essential advice and humor from a former newbie who fell off a treadmill on his first run (literally), Slow AF Run Club is for anyone who wants to pick up running for the sheer joy of it.

What's up, I'm Martinus
I’m an avid runner who has dedicated my life to helping others pursue their goals and dreams. I am a certified running coach who has completed 8 marathons including Boston and New York, as well as dozens of other race distances. For most, if not all, of these races I weighed over 300 pounds.
I have been featured on the cover of Runner’s World Magazine and worked with world-renowned athletic brands such as adidas.
With my knowledge and hard-earned personal experience I decided it was time to create something that would help beginner and non-traditional runners overcome their struggles and achieve success in running–that’s how this book came to be.
