We love running. We love reading. So we love reading about running. AND TALKING ABOUT IT, DUH.
We have shelves full of running books and figured this would be an incentive to stick to a regular reading schedule! Please read and listen along. Want to suggest a book for us to review? Contact us below.
Running Book Club
This is exactly what it sounds like: A book club for runners. We read, review, and discuss books and articles about running, fitness, health, and nutrition from the POV of running enthusiasts, competitors, fans, and coaches. We will also interview authors, experts, and other pros.

The BOOKSHELF
The idea for this blog and podcast came from looking my growing collection of books about running and realizing I was aquiring them faster than I was reading them! So I wondered if creating a virtual book club for runners could be fun. Here is the list of the books, e-books, and audiobooks I have and will consider covering in some way.
