Awesome Book

I bought this in 2023 from ThriftB. Love the thoughts and inspiration. Anyone who runs at at a “deep level” and find joy in running and life will understand this book. Buy it!

AN OLD FRIEND

I bought my copy of this one in 1975, shortly after it's publication. My old copy is about worn out. This is a very quick read with some beautiful black and white photographs. The writing is right out of the late 60s and early 70s. My wife calls it my "Hippy Running Book." It is quite, for me, inspirational and that is what it was written for. I have to laugh at times. I see (and am passed) by the younger crowd now, wearing their expensive running shoes, running clothing, running watches, running heart monitors, running glasses, running water bottles, running snacks, etc., etc., and wonder "why?" I know I am getting old but do hope I never loose the spirit this book so well voices and the spirit in which we all ran in those past days. Recommend this one to all serious runners and all not so serious runners, at least those that do not take themselves all that serious.

A Guide to Meditative Running

This book is a short, quick read and ,yet, is truly a profound expression of the "state" of a run. It's definitely laced in a 70's style (linguistically), but remains timeless. It is a book for people who want to go for a run and not have to worry about getting somewhere. I have treasured this book for 32 years and am glad to see it still available
