Books

Every runner has a story.

For those who choose to write theirs, they become compelling and inspirational books.

These works provide unique advice that help every runner:

Any running dream is achievable with support from dedicated running partners, strangers and even animals such as a loyal dogs. 

Focus on replicating race conditions in training, practicing meticulously and viewing setbacks as building blocks for progress.

Aiming for running perfection is futile and pursuing a goal should never be stressful. Instead find other means to measure success and never regret quitting races. 

Use running to experience more of the world and give back to the community but be careful not to spend excessive amounts of money.

After all, running isn’t everything…
