Now with a new introduction and additional stories accumulated in the
eight years since its original publication, To Be a Runner is a fresh
and exciting update on a running classic. With an exuberant mix of
passion, insight, instruction, and humor, bestselling author and
lifelong runner Martin Dugard takes a journey through the world of
running to illustrate how the sport helps us fulfill that universal
desire to be the best possible version of ourselves each and every time
we lace up our shoes.
To Be a Runner represents a new way to write about running by bridging
the chasm between the two categories of running books: how-to and
personal narrative. Spinning colorful stories of his running and racing
adventures on six continents, Dugard considers what it means to truly
integrate running into one's life. As entertaining as it is provocative,
To Be a Runner is about far more than running: It is about life, and
how we should live it.
