THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER. IT'S TIME TO BECOME AN ASS-KICKING, GETS-THINGS-DONE SUPERWOMAN WITH RUN FAT BITCH RUN.

'You'll be up and running in no time' Grazia

'Ruth is an inspiring running buddy' Daily Express

Is there a large arse-shaped dent in your sofa? An eye-wateringly expensive (and rarely used) gym membership burning a hole in your bank account? Does the sight of your wobbly thighs leave you cowering under the duvet?

Then it's time you face the truth: if you want to lose weight and get fit there's only one thing left to do . . . RUN!

Funny and brutally honest, Ruth Field and her straight-talking alter-ego The Grit Doctor will give you - yes, you - the push you need to start pounding the pavements and shedding pounds in no time.

* Locate your inner grit and long-lost energy with a foolproof beginners' programme
* Enjoy carbs without guilt with The Grit Doctor's tasty and nutritious recipes
* Includes marathon training plan to transform you from casual jogger to elite(ish) athlete
