The mindset that helps ultrarunners commit to such an arduous journey is one that John found can also help anyone overcoming challenges in life off the trail, too. Over the years, John would document the stories, hard-earned lessons, and the shared experiences within the community he became part of while on the trail. In his debut book, Running Toward Life, John speaks to the various points of development in ones running lifementors, companions, and challengesto help readers come away with a sense of understanding of who they are and what is important to them."-- Provided by publisher.
