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.

I have set a resolution to run a 5k!

I started with Born to Run, then listened to North and then came back here. It has inspired me to put my health forward as I near closer to 40. I have set a resolution to set a 40 bucket list. I plan to run a 5k before I turn 40! Here’s to starting out the year right. I just gotta get the diet down and the running in. Wish me luck

Worth it!

I was / am in love with BYR 1. Still! This book with the same title helps put into practice all the crazy shit in the first book. The book is a mix of story from the the first book and some real good applications for the runner who wants to run free. I really liked it. Get past the recipes and enjoy the read !

it's not just the other book.

truly 2nd part of Born to Run! love the stories and the how to's and when to's

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.
