    In this engaging collection of essays, author and athlete John Jerome celebrates the simplicity and freedom of running. With contagious passion, he strips away fads and myths to offer basic guidelines for participants, from beginning joggers to those preparing for marathons. For years Jerome recorded his thoughts and experiences during his daily training. As he ran, he discovered not only physical benefits, but philosophical ones as well.

    Where does The Elements of Effort rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This one would be 4th among my audiobooks. I found it very entertaing and a good light listen while I'm out running


    Have you listened to any of L. J. Ganser’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No I haven't


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes it held my attention, although I don't agree with everything he said but it is good to have different opinions and makes long runs on your own go pretty quick


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed it. It has given me headings, and formats to log stuff onto my own Blog

    When runners aren't running, they are talking about running, planning their next run, shopping for running. This book contains stories from runners, telling their stories to other runners about. running — how it has changed their lives, their bodies, and their spirits. Runners will love these inspirational stories of fellow runners challenging themselves, recovering from injuries, and staying motivated.

    I comes' in 3rd on my list


    What did you like best about this story?

    This is a short story collection from some elite athletes, middle of the packers like me, and one's from those who really let you know what overcoming obstacles is all about


    What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

    I like writing myself and have a blog and this book has given me some direction.
    I listen to these audiobooks while I run instead of music and they just make the whole run a very enjoyable experience


    Any additional comments?

    Like all the others I have, I enjoy listening to them because I love running and it gives me a good feeling to know others have put pen to paper to record their feelings
