Books About Running

There have been too many books to mention written about running:  from biographies and fascinating life stories of runners, to hundreds of “how to” books on running and training.  

The best method to identify a running book is to filter your search by specific interests:  training, stories of triumph, stories by elite athletes, books for beginning runners, books for local interest, etc.
