Favorite Running Books Podcast

Here’s a list of my favorite running books. I love audiobooks (and podcasts) while running – and these are about running too. Not all of my favorite running related books are available in an audio format but I’m including them.

Also – if you are not sure what books your favorite runner has already read get them an Audible Membership and they can pick their own book Boom.

 

Running Motivation…

How Bad Do You Want It by Matt Fitzgerald – Audio Version  <- I met him at the Boston Marathon! I loved this book!

Mile Markers by Kristin Armstrong – not available on audio

The Inner Runner by Dr. Jason Karp – audio version of The Inner Runner

Running Books – Tips and Training Plans to Run Better and Faster

Run to Overcome by Meb Keflezighi and Dick Patrick – audio version Run to Overcome

Chi Running  by Danny Dreyer – audio version of Chi Running

Awesome books about RUNNERS or by Runners

Fast Girl by Suzy Favor Hamilton –  not a running book but a book about a runner that was a Las Vegas escort after her professional running career. I think I mentioned this one when I was listening to it last year.

My Life on the Run by Bart Yasso  – audio version of My Life on the Run

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand – audio version of Unbroken

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall – audio version of Born to Run

Running Cook Book

Run Fast Eat Slow by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky

And if you’re not sure what to get someone – the gift of an Audible membership is awesome because they can choose their own book each month. (You can’t gift 1 specific audio book – for whatever reason the system doesn’t allow for that.)

Gift them a Audible membership

Oh – why is my brother on the Audible website?? Ha!

Also – There are four major forest fires raging in Southern California right now. So many people have lost their homes and firefighters have been battling the flames for days. I really want to help everyone affected by the fires and I’d like to let you know how to help too.
