Lisa is a widely published writer in all corners of the running world and is the author of Running That Doesn't Suck: How to Love Running (Even If You Think You Hate It). 

As the title of Lisa's book suggests, she didn't always love running.

She flat out hated it – to the point that she was hiding from her high-jump coach to avoid running two laps around the track during warm-up.

After being forced into running to make the college volleyball team, what began as begrudging runs turned into a daily activity she positively anticipated.

Lisa's offers some sage advice with a dose of dry wit that will guide new runners and advanced runners alike to find joy in the simple act of running. 

Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all. Play around with different approaches to running and find what works for you.
