A humorous gift for the marathon runners in your lives: remind them of the many other ways to have fun that are less time-consuming and much gentler on their knees!

Do you know someone whose life is dominated by training blocks and energy gels? Are you fed up of hearing about blisters in too much disgusting detail? Or have you yourself succumbed to running fever and are willing race day to be over - or quietly hoping that it never comes?

Fear not! Whether you're a long-suffering marathon runner or an equally long-suffering supporter, this book will get you back on track. Packed to the brim with fun things to do, such as painting a watercolour masterpiece and baking the perfect cookie, this is a must-have guide for anyone looking for hobbies which are kind to their calendars, bank accounts* and shins.

*It's certainly cheaper than a Theragun. Or a knee replacement.
