From the Back Cover:
Running is not just a physical activity — it is also a reflective endeavor. With the wind at your back and ribbons of roadway in front of you, there is ample time to think about life’s big questions.

This first-of-its kind volume brings together some of today’s leading philosophers to address such questions as:

  • What is the relationship between success in running and success in life?
  • What can we learn from pain?
  • Is running a religion?
  • How does running fit into the pursuit of a meaningful life?
  • What is the connection between running, friendship, and happiness?

The combination of running and philosophy can help us achieve a goal we all share, reflected in the words of eminent Enlightenment philosopher John Locke: "A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this world."
