Meb for Mortals: How to Run, Think, and Eat Like a Champion Marathoner by Meb Keflezighi, Scott Douglas

4.0

I feel like Goldilocks! If the Higdon book was a bit too aimed at beginners then this was the opposite. Meb’s book does exactly what it promises- describes how he goal sets, trains, eats, etc… and most of those things are in ways you can’t really replicate if being an elite runner isn’t your job. (I would LOVE to get massages several times a week but that os not happening… I am not going to have the same diet as him being vegetarian and honestly just not prioritizing running to the point of never indulging in an alcoholic beverage etc)
That being said, Meb is a huge inspiration and I kind of want to go back and re-read his book 26 marathons which was full of so much kindness and inspiration. It also reminded me of some stretching and recovery work.
