Meb for Mortals: How to Run, Think, and Eat Like a Champion Marathoner by Meb Keflezighi, Scott Douglas
4.0
I really enjoyed this book and downloaded the kindle version instead of purchasing the hardcover so that I could read it before Monday's running of the 2015 Boston Marathon.
Not all of the information was new to me, in fact a lot of it was not. However, Keflezighi and Douglas present the information in an engaging manner carefully tied back to Keflezighi's personal experience throughout his running career and specifically to the training leading up to his historic 2014 Boston Marathon win. Too many books "authored" by an elite runner (*Kara Goucher) cater to beginning runners and almost completely ignore the fact that the purported author is an elite runner whose training looks quite different from the everyday, average, beginning runner.
I loved all of the warm up drills and strengthening and stretching exercises included in the book complete with Meb posing as the model for the demonstrations. Some of the faces made me laugh a little. I hope to make many of these various exercises a part of my own daily routine as I try once again to qualify for Boston.
I recommend this book for all runners whatever your final goal is and especially if you are Meb fan.
