At the darkest hour, in the deepest night, I was carrying my everlasting fright. The churning sea, and the storm, Oh, heaviest burden, and raging fire, While ascending higher and higher, I feel the shadows, it is sure, Once, I remember, I was pure. Burning waters, raining fires, Elements are shaken, trembling the earth, I gave up my birthright, my birth. Driven I am already, by demonic forces. And the four knights are riding with their horses, Only for me, oh my soul, flee, flee, Lord where are you? Save me, My Majesty...

In one of his most ambitious physical efforts to date, Dean Karnazes attempted to run 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 days to raise awareness of youth obesity and urge Americans of all fitness levels to "take that next step." "UltraMarathon Man: 50 Marathons - 50 States - 50 Days", a Journeyfilm documentary, follows Dean’s incredible step-by-step journey across the country. Ultrarunning legend Dean Karnazes has run 262 miles-the equivalent of ten marathons-without rest. He has run over mountains, across Death Valley, and to the South Pole-and is probably the first person to eat an entire pizza while running. With an insight, candor, and humor rarely seen in sports memoirs (and written without the aid of a ghostwriter or cowriter), Ultramarathon Man has inspired tens of thousands of people-nonrunners and runners alike-to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and be reminded of "what it feels like to be truly alive," says Sam Fussell, author of Muscle. Ultramarathon Man answers the questions Karnazes is continually asked: - Why do you do it? - How do you do it? - Are you insane? And in the new paperback edition, Karnazes answers the two questions he was most asked on his book tour: - What, exactly, do you eat? - How do you train to stay in such good shape?

A new edition of a sports icon's memoir, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Kathrine Switzer's historic running of the Boston Marathon as the first woman to run. In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to officially run what was then the all-male Boston Marathon, infuriating one of the event's directors who attempted to violently eject her. In one of the most iconic sports moments, Switzer escaped and finished the race. She made history-and is poised to do it again on the fiftieth anniversary of that initial race, when she will run the 2017 Boston Marathon at age 70. Now a spokesperson for Reebok, Switzer is also the founder of 261 Fearless, a foundation dedicated to creating opportunities for women on all fronts, as this groundbreaking sports hero has done throughout her life.

When four-time Olympian Meb Keflezighi ran his final marathon in New York City on November 5, 2017, it marked the end of an extraordinary distance-running career. Meb will be remembered as the only person in history to win both the Boston and New York City marathons as well as an Olympic marathon silver medal. Meb's last marathon was also his 26th, and each of those 26 marathons has come with its own unique challenges, rewards, and outcomes for him. Through focused narrative, Meb describes key moments and triumphs that made each marathon a unique learning experience and shows runners--whether recreational or professional--how to apply the lessons he's learned to their own running and lives. Chronologically organized by marathon, 26 Marathons offers wisdom Meb has gleaned about life, family, identity, and faith in addition to tips about running, training, and nutrition. Equal parts inspiration and practical advice, this book will provide readers an inside look at the life and success of one of the greatest runners living today.

“She thought her last chance at love had passed her by, but this Christmas, the race to romance has just begun…” If Trent Robertson was the one that got away, then Riley Lancaster was the one that stayed behind, waiting patiently for him to return. And now that he has, life—and especially Christmas—will never be the same! Every year, Riley Lancaster laces up her favorite pair of running shoes and heads down to the official starting line for the annual 5K Christmas race, the Rudolph Run. And every year, she waits in vain for her former racing partner, Trent Robertson, to return. And every year, he never does. Pathetic as it is, it’s a tradition Riley just can’t give up. Even after seventeen years, as the holidays approach, Riley knows she’ll lace up—and show up—one more time. But this year promises to be different. This year, Trent is back in town to settle his father’s affairs after a tragic heart attack over Thanksgiving weekend. And he’s brought along his teenage son, Archie. The son Trent had with his high school sweetheart, Mia. And after a chance run-in with Trent, Riley realizes the past she put behind has caught up with her in a way she never could have imagined – and won’t soon forget.
