RUNNING TO LOSE WEIGHT and OTHER BENEFITS OF RUNNING"Running to lose weight and the calories burned running are just a few running health benefits you can expect". It happens over and over again. People with a weight problem have their minds made up to do something about it and often their choice is running to lose weight. Sure it's hard at first, but they stick with it and one day they notice the pounds starting to disappear. Not only that, they begin to feel better, look better, and suddenly have a lot more self-esteem. Before they know it they are running more and more and soon they begin to look forward to their next run.
They begin to run farther and farther and in many cases, faster and faster. The more they run, the more weight they lose, and the more they lose, the more they run. They have discovered that not only can they reduce their weight running, but they can also really enjoy doing it and in many cases develop an entirely new way of life. Some even enter their very first short race and love it. Soon they are completely hooked and running becomes their passion. As the years pass they might even decide to run a marathon and before you know it they learn how to swim and become triathletes. Some even go on to take on the challenge of the Ironman triathlon. To think that all this started with a desire to lose some weight.
So yes, you can do something about your weight problem by running, but people should also be aware that there are so many other healthy benefits that come from embracing running and making fitness a regular part of your life forever. All things being equal you will become healthier, enjoy life more and most likely live a longer more enjoyable life. Over the years I have met many people who actually had all the best intentions of running to lose weight or to in some way improve their fitness level in the beginning. Soon they began to realize the other benefits of running and what first began as a way to lose weight running became a passion and a way of life.
In a way running is a (positive) addiction that feeds on itself. The more a person runs, the fitter they become and the better they feel. The better they feel, the more they run. For some, it becomes a healthier more vibrant way of life that they never want to give up and what first began as running to lose weight soon took on an entirely new dimension. There always seems to be an underlying fear that it would be easy to slip back into the unhealthy lifestyle of the past if one wanders from the path of fitness and the healthy lifestyle they have found.

I have written three books that all serve a specific purpose when it comes to those new to the sport of triathlon or those who perhaps have the Ironman on their mind.
"Ironstruck...The Ironman Triathlon Journey" is a perfect book for those who have the Ironman on their mind and perhaps need some motivation, inspiration, and encouragement to help them make that final decision to challenge the Ironman and make it to the finish line.
"Ironstruck? 500 Ironman Triathlon Questions and Answers" is most like the only Q+A book in the world on the subject of triathlon in general and the Ironman.
This is the perfect book for the triathlete who has decided to take on the Ironman for the first time, or perhaps has done one or two and would like some insight from a different point of view.
It is a great companion book for "Ironstruck...The Ironman Journey" and the pair of books would make a great gift.
"Triathlete in Transition" is a book that was inspired by all the people who would stop by at my Ironstruck book signings and suggest I write a book for the very beginner triathlete who just wanted to know more about the sport.
I suppose because I had this passion for the Ironman that it seemed natural to write about it first almost six years ago now.
So in effect I have gone from the most difficult and challenging of triathlons and ended up at the beginning of the triathlon journey.
Triathlete in transition is full of information about how to get started in the sport and like my Ironstruck books, are inspirational and motivational as well as full of practical advice on triathlon that make the sport much more enjoyable.
Regardless, now I have three books that cover the full range of triathlon from just learning about triathlon in general, to ultimately reaching the Ironman finish line.
