Episode Synopsis
My guest is Martin Dugard. He's the author of the critically acclaimed To Be A Runner (https://www.amazon.com/Be-Runner-Racing-Mountains-Running/dp/1635653630/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=to+be+a+runner+paperback&qid=1554858046&s=digital-text&sr=8-1-spell). Now with a new introduction and additional stories accumulated in the eight years since its original publication, To Be a Runner is a fresh and exciting update on a running classic. With an exuberant mix of passion, insight, instruction, and humor, bestselling author and lifelong runner Martin Dugard takes a journey through the world of running to illustrate how the sport helps us fulfill that universal desire to be the best possible version of ourselves each and every time we lace up our shoes.
To Be a Runner represents a new way to write about running by bridging the chasm between the two categories of running books: how-to and personal narrative. Spinning colorful stories of his running and racing adventures on six continents, Dugard considers what it means to truly integrate running into one's life. As entertaining as it is provocative, To Be a Runner (https://www.amazon.com/Be-Runner-Racing-Mountains-Running/dp/1635653630/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=to+be+a+runner+paperback&qid=1554858046&s=digital-text&sr=8-1-spell) is about far more than running: It is about life, and how we should live it. Special Guest: Martin Dugard.
