Product Description

From the Publisher
Everything memorable ever about running.
The Quotable Runner is a beautiful hardcover gift book perfect for any runner. It's chock full of all the wittiest, pithiest, most incisive words spoken about our great passion: running.

Runner's World says: "Keep this book close to you at all times. It can't help but improve your spirits and your running."

"Words to run by . . . Open it at random and you'll find gems. . . . A refreshing change from the standard diet of training books." -- Newsday

"The book is a wonderful way to get inspired, whether it's for tomorrow's run or for the marathon of your life." -- Austin American-Statesman

Some samples:

"Bid me run and I will strive with things impossible." -- William Shakespeare

"Start slowly, then taper off." -- Walt Stack

"Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance." -- Chairman Mao

"Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos." -- Olympian Don Kardong

"Mental will is a muscle that needs excercise, like the muscles of the body." -- Lynn Jennings

"If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk." -- Bill rogers

"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it." -- Oprah Winfrey

"Mind is everything -- muscles, pieces of rubber. Everything that I am, I am because of my mind." -- Paavo Nurmi

"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare." -- Juma Ikangaa

"Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness." -- Dostoyevsky

"If the Lord had meant man to run, he would have given him four legs, or at least made him late for a bus." -- Red Smith

and hundreds more! --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Author
This is an inspirational book for runners...
When I was almost finished this book, I thought: "Nobody is going to like this stuff expect running fanatics like me!" Since then, almost 30,000 people have read "The Quoteable Runner" & it's been translated into Japanese! I had a lot of fun writing it....my main goal was to give something to runners that wasn't about "how to" run...But why we SHOULD and why we MUST!! --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! It's been a great source of inspiration for me., 24 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Quotable Runner: Great Moments of Wisdom, Inspiration, Wrongheadedness and Humor (Hardcover)

If your a runner...and even if you're not this book will inspire you to do things that you never thought possible. It will help you make goals...and then gradually surpass them. This book describes running as more than just a sport, but a way of life. Thumbs up to Mark Will-Weber on putting together a book that defines the greatest past-time in the world.

This is a great book written by a great guy. I should know, Mark Will-Weber was my college track coach. A very insightful book, The Quoteable Runner would make a great gift for someone else or for yourself. Read and Enjoy!!!
