Today, I want to share with you some of my favorite running reads that you can pick up for the awesome runners in your life or add to your own wish-list.
1. Runner's World Magazine - Even if your favorite runner already has a subscription, you can still buy their next renewal, it will just extend the time from the end of their current subscription (my subscription is up in two months btw...)
2. Eat & Run by Scott Jurek - I devoured this book by record-breaking ultra runner Scott Jurek. Jurek's book fits nicely into the memoir category, you learn a lot about his life and a lot about running. You also follow his journey to becoming a vegan and he shares a recipe in each chapter.

4. Train Like a Mother by Dimity McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea - I love all of the "Mother Runner" books but this is the one I keep going back to over and over. It has training plans (I've used them, they're great), tips, and stories from other running mamas.
5. Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald - I learned so much from this book. What I like about it is not so much in the how, but the why. Fitzgerald teaches you how much weight, and specifically body fat, is affecting your race times and helps you find your optimal weight.
These are all books that I have read and recommend, there are plenty of other running books that I have not read yet and in a another post I'll share my own wish-list of running books. There are many other humorous running books out there (Onward! comes to mind) that I've read, and while I enjoyed them at the time, they just didn't stick with me, so I didn't mention them here, but if you'd like to know which of those I've read let me know.
What running books do you recommend?
Ooooh! Love this post! I'm such a huge book nerd that I'm always looking for new reads! I've read the Mother Runner ones, but the other ones are new - thanks so much for sharing! :)
