Critic reviews

"Refreshingly free of new-age jargon and psychoanalysis. It's about determination and the pursuit of the 'happy effect." (Herald Sun (Australia)
"If you're stuck in an exercise rut, this book will give you a rather rude kick up the backside . . . it certainly shamed us into lacing up our Nikes!" (Closer)
"Amusingly vicious . . . Excellent advice all round." (Emma Thompson)
"Ruth is an inspiring running-buddy . . . By the time I unpack my summer wardrobe, I'm sure my inner Grit Doctor will be my best friend." (Flic Everett Daily Express)
"A witty, no-nonsense read, it had us dusting off our trainers within seconds. Trust us when we say you'll be up and running in no time at all." (Grazia)

Excellent book, had me laughing!

This is such a great listen. Funny and brilliantly put. I now think of the Grit Doctor whilst running and allowing my "inner bitch" to keep me going.

Alright for some

Fairly basic and a bit repetitive but worth listening to for some. some advice is only relevant if your situation matches hers ie youve just had twins, you have support to watch kids any time of week, work from home etc

motivating

As someone who detested cross country at school I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to motivate myself to start running for weight loss. This book did the trick. It's funny and practical and actually great to listen to while you're out there pounding the pavement. My advice would be to start in spring so you're fully committed by the time the days get shorter.

Inspirational enthusiasm

I have over my adult life tried to find the inspiration and enthusiasm to run. I know that if I do run regularly I lose weight, tone up and like how I look and feel. To often the call of the sofa and the wine glass got the better of me. This book is like having your honest friend speaking to you and encouraging you on with out having any of the complications of friendship get in the way. Ruth Field says that you must have a sense of humour about the book and she is right, it is a no-nonsense, easy and inspirational way of getting back your enthusiasm for moving.

I said you'd never see me run.

I said you'd never see me run. Any other form of exercise was worth trying. Why anyone thought the answer to fitness or life's problems came through pounding sweatily along in public places was beyond me.
I have no idea what made me listen to the sample of RFBR, but it made me laugh out loud and before I knew it I'd bought it and was following the instructions.
Sensible, down to earth, heartfelt advice that bears listening to over and over again. I play a snatch of it as I do my warm up walk and something about Ruth's voice puts me on the right path.
Worth every penny and more.
