About the Book

With young kids and an increasingly unhealthy lifestyle, Mark Atkinson knew it was time for a lifestyle change. An absolute beginner with a string of failed gym memberships and team sports attempts, running was something he started on a whim. However, a handful of tricky starting runs soon progressed into a 10k race, which then snowballed into a marathon. Progressing cautiously on a reluctant and unexpected journey to 100 Marathons (and beyond), Mark learned the hard way from years of getting it wrong. Unlikely to break any records or become a national figure for the standards he sets, he nonetheless has enhanced his life and fitness, taking his long-suffering family along with him. In Run Like Duck, he writes about his unsteady progress while knocking the stuffing out of running pomposity. This uplifting mix of helpful tips and witty, relatable anecdotes is fuelled with enough drive to get any reader running, with Mark's inspiring story accompanying you along your journey to the great outdoors. ‘A hilarious tale of one man’s obsession, packed with advice for runners from beginners to aspiring marathon competitors.’ -- Sean Conway ‘Witty, funny and informative. Great for someone starting out in running!’ -- Dr Margot Wells

About the Author :
Mark Atkinson is a husband, father and engineer. After a lifetime of inactivity and ballooning weight, he decided at thirty-two to improve his health for the sake of his kids and tried running. He is now a member of the 100 Marathon Club and can typically be found running around his home town of Milton Keynes or searching the internet for his next race.

Review :
‘Witty, funny and informative. Great for someone starting out in running!’ ‘A hilarious tale of one man’s obsession, packed with advice for runners from beginners to aspiring marathon competitors.’ ‘This book will inspire you to stop reading and run more. Better than the Bible – if you're looking for a running book!’ ‘Thanks to Mark’s brilliant self-deprecating humour, Run like Duck will have you laughing up out the couch, into your trainers, and running a hundred miles with a smile on your face before you know it.’ ‘God-like, majestic, awe-inspiring are all words. Buy this book.’ ‘I haven’t read this book but how bad can it really be?’
