Neznášam behanie, pridáte sa?
Brendan Leonard neznáša beh. Neznáša ho tak oduševnene, že sa mu raz podarilo zabehnúť 52 maratónových behov za 52 týždňov. Teraz sa s vami podelí o všetko, čo o tomto športe vie, aby ste ho mohli neznášať spolu s ním.
Knižka Neznášam behanie, pridáte sa? je plná múdrostí, humoru, osobitého štýlu, tipov, citátov a obsahuje tiež viac než šesťdesiat názorných diagramov. Mentor, v ktorom sa sčasti nájde každý, v nej čitateľovi odovzdá dôležité posolstvo o motivácii.
Leonard pri opise búrlivého vzťahu, aký väčšina bežcov s týmto športom má, trafil klinec po hlavičke. Veľmi dobre vie, aké náročné je vyteperiť sa z gauča; učí nás, ako byť v pohode aj s nepohodlím, a odobrí vám i striedanie behu s chôdzou. Je ochotný sa podeliť o všetko, čo sa naučil. Opakuje si pri tom mantru: Jednoducho, ľahko, elegantne a rýchlo, a nezabúda podotknúť, že každé bežiace telo je telo bežca.
Leonard navyše ovláda i bežeckú prax od tréningových metód až po rady pri nezdaroch alebo zraneniach. Prináša odpoveď dokonca i na veľkú otázku, ktorú si občas kladú mnohí: Prečo behám? Je to jednoduché.
Beh nám pomáha porozumieť záväzku, vybudovať si trpezlivosť, objaviť sebadisciplínu, nájsť psychickú odolnosť a dokázať sebe samým, že zvládneme aj niečo náročné. V neposlednom rade tiež pomôže aj spáliť to schrúmané extra veľké balenie čipsov.
Od prípravy na to najlepšie i najhoršie, cez vytrvanie v najťažších chvíľach behu, až po nájdenie zmyslu celého vášho behania... Brendan Leonard s čitateľom prejde (a prebehne) všetky aspekty začínania a udržiavania dobrého vzťahu s behom.
Nájsť dôvod, prečo beháme/beháte - už to je úspechom Keď mám pocit, že je toho na mňa v živote priveľa alebo som príliš zaneprázdnený, aby som išiel behať, idem aj tak, lebo viem, že sa vždy stanú dve veci:
1.Po piatich až desiatich minútach behu nepríjemné pocity zmiznú.
2.Pätnásť minút po dobehnutí budem vidieť vo svete viac nádeje ako päť minút pred začiatkom. Ak by som z behu mal len túto jedinú výhodu, stále by to stálo za to.

How to Set a Fire and Why
"Ball has created a voice that echoes the beloved narrators of J. D. Salinger and John Green. . . . With her tragic past, brilliant mind and subversive potential, Lucia could be thought of as a young Lisbeth Salander, or a high-IQ, antiheroic Katniss Everdeen, but with a better sense of humor." --Newsday Lucia Stanton's father is dead, her mother is in a mental hospital, and she's recently been kicked out of school--again. Living with her aunt in a garage-turned-bedroom, and armed with only a book, a Zippo lighter, and a pocketful of stolen licorice, she spends her days riding the bus to visit her mom and following the only rule that makes any sense: Don't do things you aren't proud of. When Lucia discovers that her school has a secret Arson Club, her life is suddenly lit up; she'll do anything to join. Edgy, raw, and hilarious, How to Set a Fire and Why is a thrilling story about growing up the hard way.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and his team of experts have between them an unprecedented breadth of culinary expertise on subjects that range from fishing and foraging to bread-making, preserving, cheese-making and much more.

With more than 350 recipes, and brimming with advice on processes such as curing bacon and making yoghurt, the secret of perfect crackling and which apple varieties to choose for a stand-out crumble, as well as sourcing the most sustainable ingredients, this is an essential guide to cooking, eating and living well. More than anything, the River Cottage A to Z is a celebration of the amazing spectrum of produce that surrounds us - all brought to life by Simon Wheeler's atmospheric photography, and Michael Frith's evocative watercolour illustrations.
