Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner
By Dean Karnazes
This book was truly inspiring. It explains Dean's journey from non-runner to ultra-marathoner. His journey was amazing and fascinating to read about. A definite must-read for ANY level runner. I even recommend this book to non-runners.
Marathoning for Mortals - "A Regular Person's Guide to the Joy of Running or Walking a Half-Marathon or Marathon."
By John "The Penguin" Bingham & Coach Jenny Hadfield
The books provides a great mix of advice - anything from training plans, what to eat, what to drink, energy gels, running shoes, etc. It's a great tool to jump start a beginner's running program. I know it was helpful for me.
These 2 books specifically really helped motivate & educate me. When I first started training, there was a lot I didn't know and the second book especially helped with tips & advice for beginning runners. The authors of "Marathoning for Mortals" are from Runner's World.
I got the following book for Christmas, it's next on my "To Read" list.
By Bart Yasso
I almost got to meet him too - a local marathon called "Spirit of Survival" invited Mr Yasso to a luncheon in which he spoke and I wasn't able to make it.
I'll be sure to let you know what I think when I complete this book.
More to come.
Jen
