Posted Tuesday, 13 March, 2007 Many readers will know John Bingham from his long-running column “The Chronicles”. John’s approach to running is one of personal goal-setting and motivation. Through his books and column John has inspired a generation of new runners to find joy in walking, running, and racing. His transformation from a life of "sedentary confinement" to marathoner has become a model for people of all ages and abilities. Once an overweight couch potato, he looked mid-life in the face - and got moving. Since then, he has participated in over 25 marathons and hundreds of 5K and 10K races.  “Through running, I create myself as I have always wanted to be. Nothing in my experience was as powerful as crossing the finish line of my first race.” John said. “With that single step, I overcame a lifetime of unkept promises to myself.”
In a self-effacing and humorous manner, John delivers his message of hope and inspiration to people who've been running for a week or a lifetime. His message has universal appeal - to elite runners at the Boston Marathon and members of local running and walking clubs alike. Read more about John at www.johnbingham.com.
