Running Lessons: A Daily Training Companion for the Road Ahead

In Running Lessons, ultramarathoner Timothy Kozik shares the lessons he has learned from decades of running, traveling, loving, trying, failing, and, at times, succeeding. The author's years of training and racing experiences are interspersed with profound thoughts from some of history's deepest thinkers, from Carl Jung and Henry David Thoreau to George Lucas and Frank Zappa.These insightful epigraphs and deeply personal reflections are designed to be read as a companion to twenty weeks of training for any fitness pursuit, though readers will discover that all of us are in training-and there really is no finish line. Running Lessons explores what tens of thousands of miles logged on trails and roads around the world reveals about life itself.Kozik offers readers his own philosophy to explain why athletes lace up their shoes every day and run as if their lives depended on it-and perhaps they do.
