    "... auf den letzten Metern"
    Wer losläuft, will ankommen. Das gilt für die Runde um den Häuserblock genauso wie beim Start zum Marathon. Loslaufen macht nur deswegen Sinn, weil wir irgendwann irgendwo ankommen wollen. Deswegen sind wir unterwegs. Aber das Ziel ist das Ziel. Bei einem offiziellen Rennen wird das ganz offensichtlich: Nur weil es ein Ziel gibt, macht das Starten überhaupt Sinn. Die vorliegende Anthologie stellt zumindest im deutschsprachigen Raum eine Premiere dar: Sie führt insgesamt 50 Texte zusammen, die im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes "auf den letzten Metern" spielen: das meiste geschafft, das Ziel vor Augen. Endlich! Das ist der Moment! Schade! Alles vorbei! Und manche Texte gehen sogar über das Ziel hinaus ...Zu den Autorinnen und Autoren zählen u.a. Dieter Baumann, Isabell Bogdan, Matthias Brandt, Waldemar Cierpinski, Joschka Fischer, Ulrich Knoll, Andrea Löw, Susanne Mahlstedt, Sandra Mastropietro, Haruki Murakami, Philipp Pflieger, Marcus Pinsker, Matthias Politycki, Ronald Reng, Volker Schlöndorff, Heidi Schmidt, Hajo Schumacher, Werner Sonntag, Bernd Stelter, Katherine Switzer und Alexander Weber. Mit einem persönlichen Vorwort der Fernsehmoderatorin Katrin Müller-Hohenstein.

    My Best Race: My Best Race: 50 Runners and the Finish Line They'll Never Forget , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    50 runners, from the world's elite to passionate amateurs, share the races they'll never forget. Every runner that enters a race has a unique reason for competing: racing for the challenge, for the achievement, for the health benefits, or for more personal reasons. But whether they are twenty-mile-a-day elite marathoners or twenty-mile-a-week recreational runners, each of them can invariably point to a singular performance as "the best race I ever ran." My Best Race is a collection of those singular performances. In this inspirational collection, 50 runners, from Olympians and World Champions, to courageous disabled athletes and middle-of-the-packers, share their personal accounts of what they consider the best race they ever ran...and why. Contributors include: Jeff Galloway: A top marathoner sacrifices his place on the Olympic marathon team by pacing his friend to the third and final qualifying spot at the Olympic Trials. Trisha Meili: The woman once known only as "The Central Park Jogger" crosses the finish line in the race she founded to benefit disabled athletes, fourteen years after being left for dead from a brutal attack that gripped the nation. Ed Eyestone: The unheralded runner comes out of nowhere to beat a previously undefeated state champion in a high school cross-country race, giving him the confidence to eventually become a four-time NCAA champion and two-time Olympian. Kathrine Switzer: The woman they tried to physically remove from the male-only Boston Marathon in 1967 had no one but herself to blame forty-three years later as she struggled through the 2,500th anniversary of the original marathon in Greece. Through interviews with the author, 50 runners recount their inspiring races and personal achievements with excitement, laughter, and sometimes tears. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/012961/bk_adbl_012961_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    I love to run, and I know how much doing Pilates has helped my running. The exercises that I've included in the Personalizing Pilates: Runners workout are designed to increase your speed, lengthen your stride, and reduce your chances of injury. You'll develop the strength and endurance that you need to run with ease."The core-strengthening along with the hip-mobility exercises will help make your body more efficient. I sent a copy of this workout to Kathrine Switzer, who is the first woman to officially run in the Boston Marathon (in 1967). She wrote me a lovely letter in which she said 'I listened and did the routine - TREMENDOUS! I loved it. Your workout is helping me a lot. Thank you.'"The Personalizing Pilates: Runners workout program includes three files. First is the free Ab Tutorial, which is a short workout that teaches you how to find and engage your deepest, supportive abdominal muscles. These muscles are important because they support the spine while your legs move and flatten the tummy!"In the workout, my voice guides you through a Pilates workout that focuses on strengthening your abdominals, mobilizing your hips, and stretching out tight leg muscles."This workout was created by and is taught by Sherry Lowe-Bernie, owner of Personalizing Pilates. Sherry is a PMA Certified Pilates Teacher, which means that you are working with one of the best Pilates teachers you can find.

    Running Throughout Time: The Greatest Running Stories Ever Told
    Every runner's story is part of a great tradition of running stories. Running Throughout Time tells the best and most important of them. From Atalanta, the heroic woman runner of ancient Greece-when goddesses advised on race tactics-to the new legends of Billy Mills, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and Allison Roe (the modern Atalanta), this book brings the greatest runners back to life. It's the perfect runner's bedside storybook. Colorful, dramatic, alive with human insight and period detail, these stories are also full of new discoveries. Within these pages, readers will find the true story of Pheidippides and the Battle of Marathon; they will read text from the world's first newspaper report of a footrace (1719). The book uncovers important evidence of the first road races, the origins of cross-country running, and the earliest marathons, telling the true story of the origins of the marathon and just why racers must run exactly 26 miles, 385 yards (42.2 km). Further, it tells more modern stories, like those of women's marathon activist, Kathrine Switzer. Roger Robinson is a vivid storyteller and a lifelong elite runner who knows the sport deeply and passionately, yet he is also a meticulous scholar who digs and digs until he gets the story right. He shares his findings here, such as those from his investigation of the tragedy during the 1928 Olympics when most of the women running the 800 meters collapsed in distress. Roger has been everywhere in running: elite runner, masters champion, stadium announcer, TV commentator, researcher, and journalist. The stories in this book are selected because each is significant in the greater story of running and because Roger can bring something new and exciting to their telling. From variant translations of ancient poems, dusty stacks of old newspapers, crackly handwritten notebooks, and carefully studied film footage, Roger has done every kind of homework to get these unforgettable stories right. All runners should read this book to really know whose footsteps they run in and why running is worthy of the effort they give to it.
