Top 100 Marathon Books of All Time

Updated: Aug 26, 2022

For two years, "Running for the Average Joe" was listed in the Top 100 Running Books and in the Top 100 Fitness Books of All Time. Now, I'm honored once again with a listing in the Top 100 Marathon Books of All Time by BookAuthority.org! BookAuthority collects and ranks the best books in the world, and it is a great honor to get this kind of recognition. Thank you to all who have supported me! I appreciate EACH and EVERY one of you!
