When four-time Olympian Meb Keflezighi ran his final marathon in New York City on November 5, 2017, it marked the end of an extraordinary distance-running career. Meb will be remembered as the only person in history to win both the Boston and New York City marathons as well as an Olympic marathon silver medal. Meb's last marathon was also his 26th, and each of those 26 marathons has come with its own unique challenges, rewards, and outcomes for him. Through focused narrative, Meb describes key moments and triumphs that made each marathon a unique learning experience and shows runners--whether recreational or professional--how to apply the lessons he's learned to their own running and lives. Chronologically organized by marathon, 26 Marathons offers wisdom Meb has gleaned about life, family, identity, and faith in addition to tips about running, training, and nutrition. Equal parts inspiration and practical advice, this book will provide readers an inside look at the life and success of one of the greatest runners living today.

From a New York Times–bestselling author and lifelong runner, a groundbreaking guide to fighting depression and anxiety one run at a time There’s no other book like this. Longtime running writer Scott Douglas marshals expert advice (especially his own, cultivated from more than 110,000 miles of personal experience), and a growing body of scientific research to show how running can make us happier. How? Everyone knows that running builds stronger muscles and a healthier heart; science now shows it also helps develop a healthier brain. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, a consistent running routine can enhance the mental-health benefits of talk therapy, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The key to running’s therapeutic power lies in its lasting physiological effects, inducing changes in brain structure and chemistry that other forms of exercise don’t—including the best mood boost in all of sports, thanks to the body’s release of natural pain-relievers. Running is my therapy is no longer just a mantra for seasoned runners; with science behind him, Douglas presents proven methods so that we can all use running to improve our mental health and live happier—in and out of running shoes.

Há quem corra para perder peso, para jogar melhor à bola, para esquecer os problemas (ou para os resolver), e até para reencontrar amigos. Correr é sempre ir mais longe… É ir só até ali… e agora só mais um pouco. É ir até ao fim. É vencer os seus limites. Correr é ser feliz, é uma parte do nosso ADN que, por vivermos num mundo sedentário, está contida. Correr é vencer barreiras, é ultrapassar obstáculos, é soltar o mais inato que há em nós. É descontrair e ver o corpo sorrir. É dizer ao corpo que ele existe e que pode servir o seu propósito. Mas correr não pode ser apenas calçar uns sapatos e sair à rua. A falta de conhecimento e preparação podem dar origem a lesões, fadiga, desconforto… Um corpo sedentário não está preparado para correr uma maratona. Devemos conhecer e identificar os limites do nosso corpo. Correr de forma saudável é fundamental para que possamos apreciar todas as vantagens desta prática. Este livro reúne 250 dicas, sugestões ou alertas, que ajudarão qualquer corredor - independentemente do seu objetivo e condição física - a descobrir ao seu próprio ritmo porque é que correr é uma atividade tão inebriante e cativante a ponto de facilmente se tornar uma parte fundamental da sua vida.
