It’s taper week — the training’s done, the legs are restless, and the brain has gone rogue. In The Taper Madness, Justin hilariously captures the paranoia that grips runners before a big event. Did you train enough? Are you too tired? Too rested? Do you even remember how to run? With humor and perspective, he reminds us that tapering isn’t losing fitness — it’s gaining freshness. The hardest part is doing nothing — and that’s exactly why it matters.

Every runner has them — the pre-race routines that range from practical to borderline mystical. In Race Day Rituals, Justin unpacks the strange habits and lucky charms that give us comfort before the starting gun. From favorite socks to exact breakfast timings, he reveals how rituals calm the chaos of competition. A funny and affectionate look at the quirks that make runners human — and why we’ll keep doing them, even if they don’t actually make us faster.

Numbers and running — they seem like a perfect match, until your oxygen-deprived brain tries to calculate pace. In The Midrun Maths Problem, Justin breaks down the hilarious futility of trying to do mental math mid-stride. Splits, distance, and time all blur into confusion, but that’s part of the charm. With plenty of laughs, he reminds us that running isn’t about perfect math — it’s about progress, persistence, and remembering roughly where you started.
