The Running Bucket List

Transform your running routine with more than 100 bucket list ideas that will encourage you to try everything from little-known races and international competitions to new training techniques and travel destinations.

There are a lot of reasons to run. We do it to lose or maintain weight, to be healthier, and to clear our minds. Running can do all these things, and more. But running can be, well, repetitive. For everyone, at some point, it can get boring. Predictable. Routine.

Experienced runner, coach, and adventurer Jeff Horowitz wrote The Running Bucket List to provide a fun and organised way to reinvigorate your love for running. Pulling from his nearly four decades of running, which includes racing in every state in the U.S. and on every continent, running in everything from the world's biggest races to solo runs in almost every kind of condition imaginable, Horowitz offers ideas to spice up your training and events that you might already be familiar with, as well as others that you've never dreamed of before. Check items off your running bucket list like:

• Join a running club
• Get a gait analysis
• Participate in your local Turkey Trot
• Race in the Two Oceans Marathon in South Africa
• Run on the Roger Bannister Track in Oxford, England
• Become a race volunteer
• And so much more.

In this book, you'll find over 100 bucket list items, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the deeply challenging to the whimsical. Pick and choose from among these adventures or work your way through the list one by one. Either way, you can be sure that you'll have banished boredom from your running.
