The How To guide I've been waiting for

Loved BTR when I first read it 14 years ago. BTR2 is the step by step (heh) guide I've wanted ever since.

Great book but not the best for an audiobook

Loved the book, but it’s a bit of a pain listening to recipes and training exercises. While I loved the book I think it’s content more appropriate for a proper book than an audiobook.

Great training book

Awesome add to your library and suggest picking up the paper book copy with tons of wonderful pictures and diagrams!!

Awesome book!!

Better than the first book!!! Recipes and exercises are great. I learned so much. Very helpful.

best ideas on fitness & health I've ever read

This book has some of the best fitness and nutrition tips you'll ever find. This is a must read

The physical book far exceeds the Audible.

The audible version is ok for the story parts but much of the book is full of pictures, recipes and exercises which does not translate to audio very well. The narration is fine but I found myself quite bored with the author reading recipes and exercises.
I ended up buying the print version which is much better suited for this type of book. I would NOT recommend the audible version.

yes

perfect follow up to born to run. yall served the reader justice. great book

It’s not the first book, so change your expectations.

Born to Run is one of my favorite all time books, and I also loved Running with Sherman. Once it became clear that this wasn’t a sequel, I really embraced all that this book had to offer. It was great catching up with the people from BTR 1, learning great techniques and remedies, and hearing more details of Caballo’s running. There is clearly a lot that went into this book, and thank you for creating it.

amazing book. terrible narrator.

The book is absolutely amazing and well written. unfortunately, the poor choice of narrator made it extremely painful to listen to. He sounds like he has a learning disability or some sort of weird accent or lisp, and it makes some of the words hard to understand. The sentences sound like they were read by someone with marbles in their mouth. Otherwise, the book is so well written that I withstood the pain of the narrator's pronunciation to hear what the author wrote.

They hit it out of the cayon!

Must read for newbies and veteran runners. Great advice for injury free running and filled with interesting stories. I'm a 62 year old runner who after years of knee, shin, and glute running related issues, now enjoys injury free running thanks to Born to Run. Born to Run 2 adds more of the specific skills and ideas needed to maintain injury free running. I will provide an update in 1 year after my 1st ultra, which is a mountain trail desert ultra. its not the ultra, but the full year of training that has always worried me. Born to Run 1&2 give me confidence that I can stay injury free and make it to the start line well prepared.
