Book Synopsis Running All over the World by : Anthony L. Copeland-Parker
Download or read book Running All over the World written by Anthony L. Copeland-Parker and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Anthony L. Copeland-Parker and his partner Catherine were in their fifties, they learned that he needed a heart-valve replacement, and she had early-onset Alzheimer's. Their past experience as endurance athletes lead them to react accordingly—to sell their home, retire from their jobs, and become nomads, running marathons and half-marathons all over the world. Anthony L. Copeland-Parker’s Running All Over the World began as a blog written during his travels, a nonfiction account of his five-plus years of flying, running, walking, sailing, and sightseeing with his partner Catherine—from Atlanta to Antarctica and back again. Part travelogue and part medical memoir, Anthony’s writing transports readers to exotic places like Madagascar, Bhutan, and the Great Wall of China while providing a look at the day-to-day realities of living out of a suitcase. Running All Over the World is an offbeat story about life and love, recounting the trials and tribulations of an ex-pilot with a passion for vistas and logistics and a woman so tough she walks a half-marathon in the Australian Outback mere weeks after breaking her ankle. During their years as nomads, Anthony and Catherine tested the physical and mental limits of their bodies and finished every race hand in hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of running to alleviate our suffering and frailties Whether you’re a novice runner making your way from the couch to your first 5K race, or an elite runner toeing the line at the start of the Olympic marathon, you soon discover that within the beauty of movement, there comes a point where you arrive at a mysterious boundary—the border where one valiantly tries to quiet the mind, while allaying incapacitating doubts and fears. This subtle negotiation, this dance with discomfort, is the birthplace of an inner fortitude, and it demands we keep moving when everything inside us is screaming for us to quit. Jean-Paul Bédard explores running’s ability to nurture inner resilience and build community, and how it can help us work through the traumas of addiction, depression, abuse, or anxiety.

Book Synopsis Psychodynamic Running by : Ethan Gologor
Download or read book Psychodynamic Running written by Ethan Gologor and published by Select Books Incorporated. This book was released on 2008 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intersection of psychology and sport is the fertile ground mined by Ethan Gologor in his latest title, "Psychodynamic Running: The Complete, Definitive Madmans Guide to Distance Running and the Marathon." Zen-like in its approach, "Psychodynamic Running" offers meditations on running (and the tools of running) as a tool to paint a picture of a mans journey from the recliner to the races. The assembled ruminations on the concept of running in all its forms, metaphors, and applications sheds light on what running really is, why we do it, and how to get it done. More importantly, "Psychodynamic Running" uses running as a template to examine connections between addiction, compulsion, socialization, and therapy, and discusses the potential benefits and pitfalls of running and the runners culture. As both a respected author and academic, Dr. Gologor combines research, experience, and a healthy dose of wit to present running as an overarching metaphor for life, and shows us how we can use it to get a handle on our own lives.
