Rebel Running Guide
Why does almost every runner get injured?
Is there a way to eat healthy and still have enough fuel for running races?
What shoes should I buy? Should I run barefoot?
What do I do on race day?
I’m Steve Kamb of NerdFitness.com, and I want to help you answer all of these questions, because I’m a nice guy like that.
The Rebel Running Guide is a joint collaboration between myself and my friend and running guru Jason Fitzgerald of Strength Running. I trust Jason with my life, which is why I’m okay trusting him with your feet – he knows how to make people run better, run faster, run safer, and run happier.
With this guide you will:
- Learn to run properly to avoid injury completely.
- Select proper shoes with a specific plan to graduate to more advanced shoes.
- How to eat for maximum performance and optimum health
- Learn everything you need to know for a 5K: from training to proper racing on race day.
- Learn how to compete in an Adventure 5K like the Warrior Dash or Run For Your Lives
- And more! (duh)
We’ve busted our butts to create a great product here, and I’m excited to finally share it with you. By the time you’re done with this sucker, you’ll be able to work out and eat healthy in any environment, no matter how hostile. You’ll be prepared for anything.
(note – this is a digital product: no physical products will be shipped to you)
What’s In The Rebel Running Guide?
I’m sure this will come as a surprise to absolutely nobody, but Jason and I managed to create a guide that was wayyyy longer, more involved, and extensive than I had initially planned.

How is this different than Couch to 5K?
At this point, you might be wondering how this is different from “Couch to 5K” or other free running program out there. “Why should I spend my hard-earned money on this?”
That is a fair question.
If you’ve been reading Nerd Fitness for a while, you know that I bust my ass every day working on Nerd Fitness and helping out the community, giving away as much high-quality free content as possible. On the rare occasion that I do create a product available for sale, I do whatever I can to make sure it exceeds expectations. To date, I’ve sold over 1500 copies of my two previous ebooks with a less than a 1% return rate.
I am 100% confident that The Rebel Running Guide will be no exception to the rule, because this thing is awesome.
Although Jason and I agree that “Couch to 5K” is a decent program for people to get started with running, it is woefully inadequate when it comes to addressing all aspects of running. It is a simple workout plan that only addresses a tiny part of what’s important when it comes to running. Honestly, Jason and I decided to write the Rebel Running Guide specifically because we couldn’t find a resource that addressed all of these issues.
For that reason, we set out to create the definitive beginner’s guide to running – the Rebel running Guide. We teach you proper running technique, cadence, arm swing, and foot strike so that injury is nonexistent. We teach you specifically what shoes to buy, and how to graduate from one pair to the next. We tell you exactly how to eat for optimum performance, including detailed advice on how to adjust your diet in the days/hours leading up to a race. We cover all of the common running injuries, how to avoid them, and how to treat them.
On top of that, we provide you with multiple 10-week programs to keep things interesting, dynamic warm-ups, body weight routines, and core workouts to help you build a strong, injury-free body that is prepared for any other physical activity out there (including running a 5K or 10K). We even virtually hold your hand through the entire 5K race process, including sign up, preparation, what to do on race day, how to pace yourself, what to do if there is a cramp, and more. If you have ever had a question about running, I’d guess we answered it in great detail in the Rebel Running Guide.
There is more to running than just putting on a pair of shoes and clomping down the street.
The Rebel Running Guide aims to cover virtually every possible question you might have.
Running Successes
Other than being a fantastic runner himself, Jason Fitzgerald is one hell of a running coach too. I can honestly say that I was blown away with the work ethic that Jason brought to collaborating on this product, and every day I was impressed with his level of dedication to create the best possible resource for runners of all levels.
Reviews are starting to trickle in from the first adopters of the guide:
I think the Rebel Running Guide is great. Two weeks in and I’m 8 pounds down.
The best part is the lack of pain. I’ve been trying for years to get back into running, but every time I try, shin splints sideline me. With the Rebel Running Guide I’m two weeks in and no shin pain!
I don’t know if it’s the dynamic warm-up, or simply me focusing on the good running form tips that were presented.
Here are just a few quotes from some of Jason’s coaching clients:
“Jason’s training plan was just what I needed – it helped me run a big PR in a longer race than I thought I was ready for, all while feeling totally prepared. Without his plan, I don’t think I would have been able to run sub-6 pace the entire way. Thank you for pushing me to be my best!” - Eric, IL
“So far this year I’ve PRd at every distance that I’ve run: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon! And I’m sure there is more out there for me in this Year of the PR. Best decision I ever made was to hire you! 
” - Lisa, CA
“Thanks to you, your training plans, the common sense and way you dove right into getting me on track is amazing! I am so thankful I found you- even after only 6 weeks with you! The improvements are noticeable – what you are doing is working for me! Looking forward to the upcoming half. I never knew I could feel this good after a few weeks of focused training!” – Tammy, BC, Canada
Who Shouldn’t Buy the Guide?
If you’re already in peak physical condition, you run 5ks like its your job, you’re training for 50-mile races, or you’ve been on the cover of Runner Magazine, this beginner’s guide to running probably isn’t for you. If you’re a skinny guy/girl trying to bulk up, if you are looking for extensive strength-building routines, or if you just don’t like running, maybe one of my other ebooks might make you happier.
You’re more than welcome to try it out and see if there’s something in here that you’ll like, but I just want to put that out there. Instead, consider passing this link along to your friend who wants to get started, your folks who need to lose weight, or the bum down the street who dances at cars as they pass by.
Thank you!
