Book of the Month: Good for a Girl by Lauren Fleshman

March 21, 2023 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

After Running While Black from Alison M. Désir, this month’s book is another must-read memoir. Lauren Fleshman (@fleshmanflyer)’s memoir is both sharp and vulnerable, and got me to keep reading (listening) without missing a beat. I initially thought this book would be similar to How She Did It because they both touch on the challenges […]

Book of the Month: Born to Run 2 by Christopher McDougall and Eric Orton

February 26, 2023 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

Whether you have read it or not, chances are that you have at least heard about Born to Run, Christopher McDougall’s first book which remains the No. 1 running title of all time (according to his website). The book initiated the revolution of Barefoot running (but also its backlashes such as the class action lawsuit […]

Book of the Month: Running While Black by Alison M. Désir

January 25, 2023 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

This month’s highlight is for Running While Black: Finding Freedom in a Sport That Wasn’t Built for Us, by Alison M. Désir (Instagram, Twitter, Strava). This is an essential read, and I would recommend it not just to runners, but to anyone. This is the first book I finished in 2023 and it sets the […]

Book of the Month: How She Did It by Molly Huddle and Sara Slattery

December 19, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

What a better way to start the new year than to hear from the stories of forty world class female distance runners? In this book, Molly Huddle and Sara Slattery, both world class runners themselves, collect the stories, lessons learned, challenges, successes, career evolutions from top athletes across the world, from some of the pioneers […]

Book of The Month: Why we Sleep by Matthew Walker

November 27, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

While this book is not technically about running, I’ve wanted to highlight this book for a while. It didn’t take long to convince me, but this book really emphasized my dedication in getting high quality sleep and I’ve seen the effects on my daily energy, ability to face the ups and downs of life and […]

Book Of The Month: Have Fun Out There Or Not by Brendan Leonard

October 28, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

After I ❤️ Running (and you can too), I am coming back for another book by Brendan Leonard (@semi_rad). This one is called Have Fun Out There Or Not: The Semi-Rad Running Essays. As you can expect from Brendan Leonard, it has a mix of text and illustration so I highly recommend the paperback (I […]

Celebrating Some of our Badass Local Women

September 29, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner 1 Comment

As the first flurries reach the Tahoe peaks and golden fall colors are starting to line up the trails, we are celebrating an incredible summer of adventures and inspiration. You may have followed the DPMR runners making their way to Europe for UTMB, or the 100-mile début of Dan Brounstein at the TRT Endurance Run. […]

Book of the Month: Do Hard Things by Steve Magness

September 26, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

You may already be familiar with Steve Magness and some of his previous books such as Peak Performance or The Passion Paradox. One of the main themes in his books that I resonate with is the parallels between running and life: resilience, how to set goals, how to push our limits, how to build longevity, […]

Book of the Month: Running Man by Charlie Engle

August 15, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

After some adventures in Antarctica with The Impossible First last month, I am continuing with the theme of memoirs but bringing you (at least partially) to much warmer places with multiple time finisher of Badwater 135 Charlie Engle. One of the reasons I tend to enjoy reading memoirs is that they provide a reflection on […]

Book of the Month: The Impossible First by Colin O’Brady

July 12, 2022 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

If you need to cool down on your summer runs, this month’s book is taking you across Antarctica. This is Colin O’Brady’s memoir (and he reads the audio book). I had never heard of him but thoroughly enjoyed discovering his journey. While not exactly about running (pulling a 300 pounds sledge on skis isn’t exactly […]
