Going Long: Legends, Oddballs, Comebacks & Adventures

For more than 40 years, Runner’s World magazine has been the world’s leading power on running—bringing its readers the latest running advice and some of the most compelling sports narratives ever told. From inspirational tales such as “A Second Life”(the tale of Matt Long, the FDNY firefighter who learned to run again after a critical injury) to analytical essays such as “White Men Can’t Run” (a look at what puts African runners at the front of the pack), the magazine captivates its readers every month.

Now, for the first time, the editors of Runner’s World have gathered these and additional powerful tales to give readers a collection of writing that is impossible to place down.

With more than 40 gripping tales, Going Long transcends the sport of running to reach anyone with an appetite for drama, inspiration, and a glimpse into the human condition.
