About this book
"It makes little difference how fast you can run the 100 meters when the race is 400 meters long. Life is not a sprint; it is a distance run, and it demands the kind of conditioning that enables people to go the distance."âGordon MacDonald
Running Strong
Whose heart doesn't leap at the sight of a beautifullyconditioned runner, effortlessly gliding along, stride-bystride, mile-by-mile? And what runner gets to this place without a thanklessâand often lonelyâregimen of strategy and self-denial?

Using the backdrop of his own experiences as a champion runner, MacDonald demonstrates how resilient people
