Rezensionen
A magical memoir of a masters athlete in search of his inner track star...expertly weaves in state-of-the-sport research. -- Ken Stone, founder and co-webmaster of masterstrack.com The ultimate in passion is to try to be the best that you can be, and in running there is no better metaphor. And there is no better book I have read that delves as deeply into this relationship than Runner as Hero. -- Bernd Heinrich, professor emeritus of biology, University of Vermont, ultramarathoner and author of Why We Run Rules that pertain to running in Runner As Hero apply to other activities. This caulks an important void and makes it much more than a book about running. -- Bob Roncker, owner, Bob Roncker's Running Spot, runner for over 50 years A comfortable and "likeable" exchange...put[s] emotional and spiritual meaning to the physical act of running; and...liberates our greatest and most authentic human potential. -- Molly Barker, MSW, founder and vision keeper, Girls on the Run International [A] marvelous "Everyman" book...readers get plenty of philosophy, mixed with daily running challenges, to tug us along. -- Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner, editor-at-large, Runner's World The ultimate in passion is to try to be the best that you can be, and in running there is no better metaphor. And there is no better book I have read that delves as deeply into this relationship than Runner as Hero. -- Bernd Heinrich, professor emeritus of biology, University of Vermont, ultramarathoner and author of Why We Run…mehr
