About the Book

Within these pages, runners will find a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and even a little humor to encourage them in their sport. But whether comical or serious, the quotes contained here represent the finest writing and wisdom on running. Geared towards everyone from the long-distance enthusiast to the relative or friend of one, the musings collected are poignant, sentimental, and amazing. 1,001 Pearls of Runners' Wisdom covers a wide swath of topics, ranging from training to coaching to marathons to shoes to diet, and even barefoot or natural running, a new trend inspired by Christopher McDougall's national bestseller, Born to Run.

--Ron Hill, elite British long-distance runner, on why he ran barefoot

"People [say to] me after a race, 'I get so many blisters from shoes, if I run barefoot, it's going to be worse.' And I say, 'Well that's why I stopped wearing shoes because I got tired of getting blisters.'"
--Ken Bob Saxton, aka "Barefoot Ken Bob," has run 76 marathons, 75 of them shoeless, since 1997

"The mile has all the elements of drama."
--Roger Bannister
