Million dollar marathon


Book Description

Berger tibétain que les autorités chinoises condamnent à renoncer à sa culture, Xi décide de fuir en Inde en franchissant l'Himalaya à pied. Le jeune homme a toujours couru la montagne pieds nus et continue à le faire aux abords du camp de réfugiés où il échoue, dans l'Uttar Pradesh. Il aperçoit un jour un groupe de coureurs indiens qu'il rattrape sans peine, malgré leur excellent niveau. Parmi eux, le fils d'un entraîneur de renom remarque immédiatement ses qualités exceptionnelles et le recommande à son père. Après quelques années sous son aile, Xi devient l'un des meilleurs marathoniens de la planète. La discipline est en pleine effervescence et les instances mondiales décident d'offrir un million de dollars au premier coureur qui brisera le mur mythique des deux heures. Phil Maffetone, expert du corps humain et entraîneur aux méthodes révolutionnaires, imagine le parcours physique et mental qui conduira Xi au sommet mondial de la course à pied sans renoncer à son identité. Il le raconte avec un sens aigu du suspens et une poésie rare dans le monde sportif.

Million Dollar Marathon


Book Description

When Xi, a shepherd from one of the most remote parts of Tibet, flees across the Himalayas to India, he doesn't know what awaits. But his very act of fleeing-alone and on foot-demonstrates a unique skill. In Tibet, Xi had barely heard of the marathon, never raced against anyone other than himself. Now, with the help of the mysterious Mr. Singh, he sets out to do what nobody has ever done before: break 2 hours for the marathon-all while remaining true to who he is and where he came from. "A rare book that combines intimate knowledge of the sport of running and compelling fiction writing. Readers, especially those who run, will enjoy this imaginative but fully plausible tale of Xi, the Tibetan runner, and the quest for the sub two-hour marathon." - Jonathan Beverly, former editor of Running Times "Sport is about passion, dedication, and competition but it can also be a political statement. From the first page you will be rooting for Xi to find a place to run in peace." - Amy Begley, 2008 Olympian, 10,000 meters. "Million Dollar Marathon is a delightful read for runners and romantics. The background story of the humble Tibetan shepherd who makes his mark on the running world is skillfully woven with a forbidden romance. I read it in an afternoon and was left wanting more." - Pete Pfitzinger, US Olympic Marathoner "A joy to read for any runner, not just marathoners. I found my heart racing at the end. I couldn't put it down." - Lt. Amanda Rice, U.S. Navy; 2:38 marathoner, 2014 military division cross-country champion.

First Marathons


Book Description

“Inspiring reading.” —The Wall Street Journal “One of the scariest things about running a marathon for the first time isn’t the distance, the muscle pain, the chafing, or the blisters. It’s not knowing what’s going to happen. That’s why this disarmingly honest collection of first-time accounts is so refreshing.” —Runner’s World UK First Marathons is the collected stories of 37 runners, told in their own words, describing the experience of running their first marathon. Everything is covered, from the early flickerings of desire, all the way to full-blown obsession—the training, the food, the emotions, every mile of this incredible journey. First Marathons is the best instruction book you will ever find, because you learn from the heartfelt life experience of others. Illumination and inspiration are on every page. These runners are old and young, fat and thin, men and women. Some are famous (like Grete Waitz, Ted Corbitt, and Bill Rodgers), and others are just ordinary people—all of whom have achieved something truly extraordinary. Their collective message: anyone can run a marathon; everyone should. It will change your life forever.
