Description
Part memoir, part meditation on endurance, this deeply personal book explores the author’s marriage and his wife’s experience with bipolar disorder alongside his own lifelong relationship with running. With honesty and compassion, it examines mental illness, resilience, love, and the challenge of finding acceptance in a world that still struggles to understand psychological suffering. Running serves as both a practical discipline and a powerful metaphor, leading into accessible yet detailed discussions of training, cross-training, pacing, and the science behind the 80/20 approach. The result is an engaging blend of intimate storytelling and evidence-based guidance for anyone interested in emotional perseverance or becoming a stronger, more thoughtful runner.
