Book Synopsis Running My Life - The Autobiography by : Seb Coe
Download or read book Running My Life - The Autobiography written by Seb Coe and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One second in time may separate the great athlete from the merely good. Seb Coe has made every second count. From an early age he has been driven to be the best at everything he does. Since the moment Coe stood alongside a 'scrubby' municipal running track in Sheffield, he knew that sport could change his life. It did. Breaking an incredible twelve world records and three of them in just forty-one days, Seb became the only athlete to take gold at 1500 metres in two successive Olympic Games (Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984). The same passion galvanised Coe in 2005, when he led Britain's bid to bring the Olympic and Paralympic Games to London. He knew that if we won it would regenerate an East London landscape and change the lives of thousands of young people. It has. Born in Hammersmith and coached by his engineer father, Coe went from a secondary modern school and Loughborough University to become the fastest middle-distance runner of his generation. His rivalry with Steve Ovett gripped a nation and made Britain feel successful at a time of widespread social discontent. From sport Coe transferred his ideals to politics, serving in John Major's Conservative government from 1992 to 1997 and developing 'sharp elbows' to become chief of staff to William Hague, leader of the Party from 1997 to 2001 and finally a member of the House of Lords. Running My Life is in turns exhilarating, inspiring, amusing, and extremely moving. Everyone knows where Sebastian Coe ended up. Few people realise how he got there. This is his personal journey.

William Pullen is a psychotherapist who helps people dealing with anxiety, lack of motivation and addition, to work through their issues using his revolutionary method, Dynamic Running Therapy. He believes that we need a radical new approach to mindfulness: an approach that originates in the body itself.

Book Synopsis Running For My Life by : Jordan Wylie
Download or read book Running For My Life written by Jordan Wylie and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the extraordinary true story of how a former British soldier turned extreme adventurer set out to run marathons in the world's most dangerous countries. In 2018, Jordan Wylie trained and ran in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan to raise awareness of the plight of children suffering in war zones as well as the funds to help provide education. Risking his life in some of the most hostile places in the world, Wylie defies suicide bombers, official advice, dehydration and exhaustion, as well as his own mental and physical health issues in an incredible tale of endurance and tenacity against the odds. His first race, in Somalia, is moved to Somaliland after a suicide bomber kills 600 people. Running the Baghdad half-marathon brings back painful memories of friends and colleagues he lost when he served there. Finally, at the Afghanistan marathon, he provides a high-profile target for the Taliban, who murder seventeen people the day before he arrives. What makes these three runs even more challenging is the fact that Jordan is affected not just by mental health issues from his own experiences, but also with epilepsy. Alongside the more extreme obstacles, Jordan has to overcome self-doubt – and the doubt of others – to show what can be achieved with belief and fortitude.
Download or read book The Running Life written by Steven McCann and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running is a part of our consciousness and subconsciousness all through life. We run as children chasing kites and ice-cream trucks, and run away from irate parents. We run as teenagers in our sports. We run as adults to stay in shape, and as elderly people, we run after toddlers that suddenly escape our protection. We run in nightmares. We run in happy dreams for the exuberance of pure freedom. We run to catch subways, buses and planes. We run to meet our lovers. Our clocks run fast, or slow, and we run late, or early. My running stories capture some of the ways we run. A kindergartener chases his mother for an entire mile, so he can walk her to the grocery store. A high school track athlete runs to win the heart of a classmate. A college coed wakes up late for her final exam and runs frantically across campus to preserve her grade point. Another young woman runs to escape a rapist. An elderly man watches joggers sweep by on a country road from his seat in a wheelchair, holding in his heart all the wonderful miles he once ran himself.

Download or read book Lifelong Running written by Ruth E. Heidrich and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cancer survivor, an Ironman Triathlete, and widely decorated marathoner, Ruth Heidrich has long been been a role model to athletes of all ages. But over the years even Ruth herself has encountered the various, commonly held misbeliefs about running, from "women shouldn't run" to "you need to change your diet to run," that prevent people from lacing up their shoes and getting off the couch. In this user-friendly guide, Ruth Heidrich debunks those myths and many more while providing the motivation, inspiration, and resources to start or maintain an activity whose benefits will last a lifetime. Along the way, Martin Rowe offers up practical advice as well as a look into running's storied history. You'll find out why there's no perfect body type for a runner, how to measure your fitness level relative to your age, and how the modern marathon came to be. Accessible and informative, Lifelong Running shows that it's possible to run well into your seventies--and beyond. "If longevity and good health are what you're after, Ruth Heidrich has the recipe for them. Her story will not only inspire you, but follow her prescription and you might just get an extra decade of good living out of it." --Kathy Freston, New York Times bestselling author of Quantum Wellness, Veganist, and The Lean "Ruth Heidrich is an inspiration to so many people. Her persistence, her commitment to fitness, her use of the healthiest food, and her consciousness of what could be a bright future for all of us make this book a must read." -- T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Nutrition, Cornell University, New York Times bestselling co-author of The China Study and author of Whole "If you've ever wondered whether running might create more joy and vibrant health in your life, this is the book you need to read. Ruth Heidrich most definitely knows what she's talking about. She's a cancer thriver (not just survivor) who has, since her diagnosis, completed nearly a hundred triathlons and more than sixty-six marathons. And this marvelous book also features the voice of Martin Rowe, a fascinating writer who is a former (and still is at times) couch potato, and as such relates very well to those of us who are, for whatever reasons, reluctant to run. Whether you are new to running, or have some experience with the sport, you'll find this extraordinary book to be reassuring, informative, and inspiring." --John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and co-founder of the Food Revolution Network "I've been moving a lot faster--and happily so--since reading Lifelong Running. This book changed my perception. For one thing, I notice that kids really do run everywhere, and smile while they are doing so. Plus I am looking at running in a new way, as something I can do and want to try. Ruth Heidrich ably shreds the myths that keep people from running at all ages, but especially once their twenties are a memory. She shares her health challenges, exhilaration in moving and exploring, and pleasure in her simple plant-based diet. Her inspiring adventures are complemented by Martin Rowe's account of his journey as a runner and insights into the world of this sport. This book can lead the way to health transformation through a running program at any age, fueled by the optimal plant-powered diet." --Janice Stanger, Ph.D., author of The Perfect Formula Diet "Ruth's life and writing are an inspiration to millions. This book is yet another gift from her that will get your body moving in ways that will put a smile on your face for the rest of your life." --Mike Anderson, author of The RAVE Diet & Lifestyle

Download or read book The Long Running Life of Helena Zigon written by Jasmina Kozina Praprotnik and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologist Jasmina Praprotnik met Helena Zigon while running. Over the course of an icy Slovenian winter, the two marathon runners got together frequently, and Zigon told Praprotnik about her life. Here, Praprotnik tells Zigon's captivating story in Zigon's own voice. Each chapter is marked by a kilometer of the half-marathon Zigon ran along the Adriatic Sea on her eighty-sixth birthday, shortly after losing her husband of sixty years, Stane. Zigon's life spanned most of the twentieth century. She witnessed the Second World War, the rise and fall of Yugoslavia, and the founding of the new state of Slovenia. Abandoned by her parents and having grown up poor and mistreated by her stepmother, Zigon demonstrates the stoic resilience of a long-suffering Slavic woman. Though beset with challenges, she found a source of strength in the act of running. From a young girl running errands to an old woman running in the face of new grief, running has been a bright thread braided throughout her life. It has served her as a balm and a joy—one that she is grateful to still be able to savor. This inspirational memoir will appeal to general readers, especially those interested in history and running.
