I love the idea of reading a book each week for inspiration. My favorite running book is Running with the Buffaloes. Just incase you run out, it’s a good one! Good luck with your training!
Hi!
Thank you for the book recommendation! I was wondering what to read next. If you know of any others please let me know.
Have a great week!
I am going to have to try some of these books! Some recommendations from me: “Marathoning for Mortals”, “Marathon: you can do it” and “26 miles to boston”. All great books.
Thank you for the book recommendations.
I haven’t read a book on running since last year. I must try Marathoning for Mortals.
