Book Reviews of My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon
Book Review: Good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was alright. Yasso's achievements and athleticism are obviously impressive but something was lacking in the writing. I found parts of it to be boring. I'm still on the look out for a book about running that is comparable to: Born to Run by C. McDougall.
Summary of My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon
Bart Yasso, an icon of one of the most enduringly popular recreational sports in the United States, offers a touching and humorous memoir about the rewards and challenges of running.
Recounting his adventures in locales like Antarctica, Africa, and Chitwan National Park in Nepal (where he was chased by an angry rhino), Yasso recommends the best marathons on foreign terrain and tells runners what they need to know to navigate the logistics of running in an unfamiliar country. He also offers practical guidance for beginning, intermediate, and advanced runners, such as 5-K, half marathon, and marathon training schedules, as well as advice on how to become a runner for life, ever-ready to draw joy from the sport and embrace the adventure that each race may offer
