Running books

Motivating books!

• Once a Runner - as

  far as motivating running novels go, this is probably at the top of my list

  from the ones I've read thus far.

• Born to Run - this

  book probably single handedly started the minimalist running shoe craze. Even

  though barefoot or natural running is not for everyone, this book definitely

  made me a better and more knowledgeable runner.

• Again to Carthage -

  This is a sequel to the first novel Once a Runner by the same author. I quite liked this as well.

• Running with the Buffaloes -

  Based on a true story, this books chronicles a season with a cross country

  team at the University of Colorado. Highly recommended.

• What I Talk About When I Talk About Running -

  this is a pretty short book on the topic of running and other things by Haruki

  Murakami.

There are many other motivating running books which I'm yet to read!

Running know how

• Daniels' Running Formula -

  Jack Daniels' Running Formula - I have not read this book cover to cover,

  but this is one of the most well regarded books on scientific training plans

  you can find.

• Lore of Running
