The Midpacker's Handbook

About the Book

Midpacker’s is a fresh approach to running. Often irreverent, sometimes philosophical, Midpacker’s gives you the freedom to define success for yourself, rather than accepting the expectations implied and imposed by well-intentioned others. Run Your Own Race! The book also discusses the spiritual aspect, with plenty of practical advice for the citizen runner. You’ll find yourself rethinking your entire approach to running and training. It’s written, not by a world champion with times the rest of us can only dream of, but from the perspective of one who is back there with everybody else. Midpacker’s is about enjoying all aspects of the running experience.
