When I first started running, this book was reccomended to me and I found it invaluable! I still reference a lot of the info from the book.

Running for Mortals by John Bingham

    I love John Bingham. His book "The Courage to Start" was the first running book I read.

    Karno's books are awesome, Ive read them all!

    I actually had the pleasure of meeting Dean on his Run Across America! He is such an awesome guy, very down to earth, and one of my biggest inspirations!

    Ultra Marathon Man by Dean Karnazes. By far the best book he's written. Very motivating.
