Reviews"Running The Edge, (is) the best running book to come along since "The Complete Book of Running" by running guru Jim Fixx in the 1970's, which at the time helped launch the running boom in America." -Hal Lifson Desert Pal Patch, "The fire has to burn within, In that sense Running the Edge is more important than any other running or motivational book out there." -Jake Krong, "There were so many times while I was reading Running The Edge that I felt like they had put in words exactly what running does for me." -Cindi Matt, "Running the Edge is the most original, thought-provoking, and infectiously readable book on running I've come across in a long time." - Matt Fitzgerald Author of Racing Weight and 16 other running books, "This is not a book on training, but it will change the way you approach running. Its not written as a motivational piece, but every page inspires." -Jake Krong Wassach and Beyond, "Few books can teach you in a brief, inspiring read, the wisdom many search a lifetime to learn. Running the Edge is one of those rare gifts. It will take you on a journey to the center of your soul." -Billy Mills, Olympic 10K Gold Medalist
