“Keep this book close to you at all times. It can’t help but improve your spirits and your running.”—Runner’s World
By its very nature, running is extreme and pure, resulting in a great supply of extremely memorable quotes, jokes, barbs, and philosophical gems. The Quotable Runner gathers the best of these into one indispensable volume. Sir Roger Bannister compares running to classical drama. George Patton compares it to war. Bill Clinton finds it keeps him optimistic. And Oprah sums it up beautifully: “Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.”
The Quotable Runner is like no other running book. Runners will read it again and again for inspiration, advice, and humor.

Need some inspiration? I just finished this book and it has been such an inspiration!! It is boiling over with insight and wisdom about what we all feel as runners. It touches the human spirit in the struggles and triumphs related to the experience of running and everyday life. Each chapter is filled with quotes from famous runners about such subjects as: The Starting Line, Coaches, Training, Fear, Racing, Hills, The Marathon, The Mile, Mind Over Matter, Pain, The Olympics, The Finish Line, Victories and Defeats…
Great Book! It’s been a great source of inspiration for me. If your a runner…and even if you’re not this book will inspire you to do things that you never thought possible. It will help you make goals…and then gradually surpass them. This book describes running as more than just a sport, but a way of life. Thumbs up to Mark Will-Weber on putting together a book that defines the greatest past-time in the world.
Spark the Runner in Your Life “The Quotable Runner: Great Moments of Wisdom, Inspiration, Wrongheadedness, and Humor” is a gift book, but for the runner, it is a fun gift.
