“Born To Run” by Christopher McDougall changed my 37 year running life (I’m 45; began running at 8). Chronic achilles tendon pain, sore knees…you know the drill. But by changing my technique, doing a lot of barefoot walking and running, I can now run up to 7 days a week without pain. Besides, it’s a great read.

I just read a relatively new running book called “An Honorable Run.” It is fantastic. I have read many of these books and this one ranks right up there with the best. If you have ever had a great coach, you need to read this book.

Hello there,

thank you for your great list on the best running books out there. Sadly I note mine is not included! Last year (2008) my book, ‘Anyone Can Run’ was published in Ireland by Currach Press, documenting my story of developing a passion for running at 40 and featuring interviews with other ‘oldie’ runners declaring their passion for the sport.
Earlier this year my second book, ‘Fit For Success’, was published, detailing how regular hard-core fitness training (mostly running), helps business people become more successful!
If you have a little time to look at or read either/or both of my books, I would be delighted to have my publishers forward you copies.

Please keep up the good work

kind regards

Joan Geraghty

Throwing my vote in for Born To Run, I’ve never read something so compelling, and the story of the native Tarahumara runners makes me seriously rethink my attitude towards running. We should all feel the joy from it that they do.

The Best Ever Collection of Running Books…

Search for running books on Amazon and you’ll be confronted with hundreds of results. That’s quite a collection – a collection that can be a little daunting (and time consuming) to browse through. This list will help you find the best, most interesting…

This is a huge help. Thank you so much. My favorite running book is by authors Warwick Ford and Nola Ford. In their recent book I read, “Fun on Foot in New York”
This book will give readers a variety of interesting places to run or walk which helps time pass faster and they run or walk more.

I’ve recommended the Beginning Runner’s Handbook to everyone I’ve ever heard think about learning to run. In fact, it’s out on loan again… to my boss! Must check on getting it back.

This is a fantastic resource, Mark. Bookmarking it for future use. It should keep me busy and motivated for quite a while.

What a collection. I have only read 9 of the but I would say that “I Run, Therefore I am nuts” is a tie for Bart Yasso’s book. I have met him three times since the book was published and have yet to get it signed. Eitherway, I need to keep this list to work through. Thanks.
