Running Exercise

Two hours to cover 26 miles and 385 yards. Its running's Everest, a feat once seen as impossible for the human body. Now we can glimpse the mountaintop. The sub-two-hour marathon requires an exceptional feat of speed, mental strength, and endurance. The pioneer will have to endure more, live braver, plan better, and be luckier than any who has run before. Ed Caesar takes us into the world of elite runners: the greatest marathoners on Earth.

If you always feel out of breath when you go on a run and don't seem to make any progress, it might be because of your breathing and not your actual fitness. Your breath is key to your sporting performance and beyond, from affecting fatigue levels, recovery and sleep to connecting to your nervous system and combatting stress.

Running is not just a sport. It reconnects us to our bodies and the places in which we live, breaking down our increasingly structured and demanding lives. It allows us to feel the world beneath our feet, lifts the spirit, allows our minds out to play and helps us to slip away from the demands of the modern world. When Vybarr Cregan-Reid set out to discover why running meant so much to so many, he began a journey which would take him out to tread London’s cobbled streets, climbing to sites that have seen a millennium of hangings, and down the crumbling alleyways of Ruskin's Venice.

I said it. I'm over 50. This is the first short book in the series, which is meant to offer subtle humor while nudging you toward improving your health through exercise. Technically, I am still a runner according to the verbal charter of the 1980s, which clearly states that once you are a runner in your youth you will remain a runner for the duration of your lifetime. I'd send you to the charter website, but there isn't one, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Even couch potatoes (who were runners in their youth) are still runners.

Plantar fasciitis can be debilitating for months or years. This is due, in part, to the fact that what is actually in pain has (at times) the full body weight of the person on it. Nearly all orthopedic problems can be healed if we learn how to minimize or eliminate pressure on the area that hurts as well as minimize or eliminate strain to the area that hurts.

Walking is a form of exercise that’s available to most people. You don’t need any special equipment other than some supportive walking shoes. And there’s no need for an expensive membership at a fitness center. I wrote this book to break down the myths about physical, mental, and spiritual walking, to share the successes and challenges of my lifelong walking journey, to provide strategies and tools to embrace different types of walking at every age and stage of life, and to help teach others about building physical, mental, and emotional resilience and inner strength.

Ultrarunning is more than just a sport; it is a lifestyle, a mindset, and a profound exploration of human potential. It pushes boundaries, tests limits, and taps into the depths of physical and mental resilience.
