Atlantic Books A Runner's High: Older, Wiser, Slower, Stronger

Ich habe alle Bücher von Dean und ich muss ehrlich sagen The Road to Sparta war zwar gut aber nicht so toll. Dieses Buch hier hat mich aber wie seine älteren Bücher wieder komplett gepackt und ich konnte es fast nicht aus der Hand legen. Schöne Einblicke in das Leben und vor allem die Gedankenwelt eines Ultramarathonläufers.

Een aangenaam boek over een onderwerp dat me wel interesseert. Leest vlot Zeker een aanrader

La cubierta que se aprecia es removible como en muchos de los casos de pasta dura, para dejar la pasta con un estilo clásico.

A amazing story of one of the best to ever do it. A must buy for sure.

Dean Karnazes’ “Runner’s High” is a remarkable and truly inspiring book that has left an indelible mark on my perspective towards running and life itself. From the very first pages, Karnazes effortlessly weaves his captivating storytelling with heartfelt moments of triumph, resilience, and self-discovery, making it an absolute must-read for both seasoned runners and those new to the sport. One of the highlights of this book is how Karnazes shares his personal journey and the transformative power of running. Through his vivid descriptions and genuine emotions, he paints a picture of a man who embraces both the physical and mental challenges that running presents. Karnazes imparts invaluable lessons about pushing our limits, conquering self-doubt, and embracing the joy that comes from living life to the fullest. The author’s relentless determination to push through boundaries becomes palpable in his accounts of incredible ultra-marathons and endurance feats. From running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days to completing the infamous Badwater Ultramarathon, Karnazes showcases the human spirit’s incredible capacity for resilience and perseverance. Reading these accounts leaves you with a sense of awe and an overwhelming belief that anything is possible if we set our minds to it. Furthermore, “Runner’s High” offers much more than a mere running memoir. Karnazes delves into the profound connection between running and personal growth, showing us how the physical act of running can have a profound impact on our emotional well-being and overall perspective on life. His reflections on the meditative aspects of running and the ability to find solace amidst chaos resonate deeply, urging us to seek our own version of a “runner’s high” in our lives. I cannot recommend “Runner’s High” enough to anyone seeking motivation, inspiration, or simply a captivating read. Dean Karnazes’ words will leave you feeling empowered, ready to embrace challenges head-on, and eager to uncover your own potential. This book is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to overcome obstacles and find incredible joy in the pursuit of our passions.
