I’ve spent 647 hours listening to audiobooks while running in the last 2 years.

Here are the 12 best audiobooks to listen to on your run (or anytime):
Can’t Hurt Me by @davidgoggins

Be uncommon amongst the uncommon.

“I don't stop when I'm tired. I stop when I'm done.”
Endurance by Alfred Lansing

Be persistent and resilient.

“Fortitudine vincimus—“By endurance we conquer.”
Finding Ultra by @richroll

It's never too late to change.

“And at the end of the day, there is nothing but the journey. Because the destination is pure illusion.”
Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke

Our world of overabundance keeps us craving more.

“The reason we’re all so miserable may be because we’re working so hard to avoid being miserable.”
Endure by @CameronHanes

Expect more from yourself every day.

"Nobody cares, work harder."
13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by @AmyMorinLCSW

Increase your mental strength to get more out of life.

“Learning from each mistake requires self-awareness and humility, but it can be one of the biggest keys to reaching your full potential.”
Once a Runner by John Parker

The quest of a champion.

“Running to him was real; the way he did it was the realest thing he knew. It was all joy and woe, hard as diamond; it made him weary beyond comprehension. But it also made him free.”
Touching the Void by Joe Simpson

When death becomes more and more likely, the will to survive keeps you going.

“Life can deal you an amazing hand. Do you play it steady, bluff like crazy, or go all in?”
Into thin Air by @JonKrakauer1

Trust in your teammates is paramount when pushing to the edge where a single mistake can lead to death.

“But at times I wondered if I had not come a long way only to find that what I really sought was something I had left behind.”
Grit by @angeladuckw

Grit requires passion and perseverance for long-term goals.

“as much as talent counts, effort counts twice.”
The Rise of the Ultrarunners by @adharanand

A journey to the edge of human endurance.

“The Devil whispered in my ear: ‘You’re not strong enough to withstand the storm.’ I whispered back: ‘I am the storm.”
80/20 Running

Run slow (zone 2) 80% of the time. Be able to talk.

“unless a runner is systematically held back, he will more often than not run too hard on easy days and unwittingly sabotage his training plan.”
That's it! Thanks for reading my thread.

The biggest lie they tell you:

Running will destroy your knees.

Here’s the truth (and how you can run in your 70s, 80s, and beyond):
I've heard it many times about running:

"Isn't it bad for your bones?"

"What about your joints?"

"I would, but my knees.”

It's an understandable concern.

Your legs take a pounding and the impact of running is real and can cause problems.
Both statements are true:

• Running hurts your knees.
• Running strengthens your knees.

It all depends on how you run and train.

"Running is boring."

FALSE

Running is:

• hard
• easy
• painful
• awesome
• exhausting
• exhilarating
• the worst
• the best

Anything but boring.

Here are 7 ways to make your runs more fun:
Explore.

You don't have to run the same route every time.

Branch out.

Let yourself get lost (a little).

Bring your phone or GPS watch so can you find your way back.

When traveling running is a great way to explore new places.
Run with a friend.

Running with a friend does 2 wonderful things:

• accountability: you'll get out there to meet a friend
• conversation: the brain works better while running

Join your local running club to meet some fellow runners.
