Book of the month: Slow AF Run Club by Martinus Evans
This is a very practical and empowering book. As the cover indicates, it is “the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to run“. It is mainly targeted to people who are curious about running or are already running but may be intimidated or frustrated (and anything in between) by the typical image of a runner […]

Book of The Month: Why we Sleep by Matthew Walker
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
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 […]
Book of the Month: Do Hard Things by Steve Magness
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 – I H❤️te Running and You Can Too by Brendan Leonard
A light read for the holiday season! I really enjoyed this short book full of fun illustrations. Brendan Leonard is in general a really fun content creator to follow (he’s @semi_rad on Intstagram). I would definitely recommend the Paperback, as I am not sure how the illustrations are rendered in Kindle (though I haven’t tried). […]
Book of the Month – Running with the Buffaloes by Chris Lear
After a Book of the Month featuring the new publication of Chasing Twilight by Adam Kimble in October, I decided to feature one of the classics of the “running literature” for November. Originally published in 2000, Running with the Buffaloes follows the University of Colorado (CU) cross-country team through one of their seasons. I assume […]
Book of the Month – Chasing Twilight: A Joy Journal for Runners by Adam Kimble, Connor Crouch, and Jim O’Brien
This month, I was excited by a book which just got published in early October. Well, it’s not “just” a book, it’s a book and a journal and more importantly a source of smiles, inspiration and reflection. If you haven’t yet, it’s time to get your hands on it! This is the first book from […]
Book of the Month – North: Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail by Scott Jurek
This summer, Scott Jurek decided to go after the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Appalachian trail. This was the second record attempt and brought back the memory of when I read North, the memoir of the first attempt, so I thought it would be a good one to feature this month. North is a […]
