Outstanding listen for all runners from the perspective of one of our greats!

Excellent advice and guidance from Bart Yasso, one of modern running’s true pioneers! Myself a runner of over 27 years, I thought I’d heard or learned most of this. (Based on the table of contents.) However, the material was very well organized and fresh! Narrator does a great job as well! Actually reminded me of Bart’s delivery/nature. Does include PDF w training plans that are referenced. Enjoy!

Great stories and advice from the one & only Bart!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you're looking to take your running to the next level, this book is full of great advice. I love that Bart advocates for running as a life style and not merely as something to check off on a bucket list.

Any additional comments?

Bart has offered so much to the running community over the last 30+ years. Wherever his trails lead him in the future, I'm certain he'll find joy in the journey.

Gem!!

Great book for any level runner!!! Bart’s journey will inspire you! Happy running and be safe!

Well worth a listen

Bart is well known as a running ambassador and he enthusiasm is infectious. This is a great quick listen. Worth it

A great dive into the sport of running

A practical guide to famous races and running in general. A worthwhile read for anyone who is interested in running or looking for training ideas to overcome a plateau.

Great Advice and Stories

A must read for new and novice runners. made me laugh, cry, and realize what I must do while I nurse an injury.

Very broad in scope, not the best choice for intermediate runners

Good book with a couple of novel nuggets, but because the book is trying to appeal to the entire gambit of runners, from neophyte runners to ultra distances, you cannot delve into very good specifics. I wanted something more.

Very helpful and engaging

Full of great info and helpful tips while keeping it interesting and engaging. Loved it

Great overview of race running from the best

Any additional comments?

Great info for beginners and intermediate runners that are interested in finding out more about various race distances and experiences. Somewhat broad, but is very clear and well written.

not so much practical information

was more about the personal story. I was looking for practical tips. there was some but I'd expected more.
