Publisher's Summary

Journey with Olympian Ryan Hall as he reflects on the joys and trials of the running life and, along the way, shows you how his faith has helped him win in his workouts, races, and overall mindset.  

Ryan Hall is an Olympic athlete and American record holder in the half marathon (59:43). But as a kid, Ryan hated running. He wanted nothing to do with the sport until one day, he felt compelled to run the 15 miles around his neighborhood lake. He was hooked.

Starting that day, Ryan felt a God-given purpose in running. He knew he could, and would, race with the best runners in the world and that his talent was a gift to serve others. These two truths launched Ryan's 20-year athletic career and guided him through epic failures and exceptional breakthroughs to competing at the highest level.

Now a coach, speaker, and nonprofit partner, Ryan shares the powerful faith behind his athletic achievements and the lessons he learned that helped him push past limits, make space for relationships that enrich life on and off the running trails, and cultivate a positive mindset.

Lessons such as:

  • Learning how to focus on your purpose and say no to distractions
  • Select and strive for the right goals - goals for the heart and the body
  • How to deal with defeat and disappointment
  • How to endure immense pain and build resilience
  • Running as if you've already won

Ryan's story is one of encouragement and inspiration for listeners of any age and level of running ability - or none at all. It's a story that shows that you, too, can change your outlook, see God's hand in your life, and run the race that really matters.

Too preachy & not enough depth

Couldn't get through more than the first few chapters. I found the content wasn't very deep, and the constant quoting of scripture (like, this happens a LOT) got to be more than a little annoying. Unless you're a deeply religious person, there are better running books.

I picked up the book after hearing Ryan on the Running Rogue podcast. If you want to hear from Ryan that's a better bet: http://runningrogue.libsyn.com/episode-119-run-the-mile-your-in-with-ryan-hall

You lost me at God…

I’m a non-religious runner. I had great hope that an amazing Runner like Ryan Hall would tell a great story. Unfortunately, he mentions god about a dozen times in the first 5 minutes alienating runners who want to hear his story without the religious preaching. Had you saved your thanks to your God for the end of the book, I would’ve kept listening. I wasted a token but then again it’s not the first time a storyteller misses the mark for me. I still want to convey my Congratulations on your book and good luck.

Great athletic inspiration

Hall tells his story with the wisdom of someone who can see the ups and downs through faith. He challenges us to see our training and races in the greater cycle of our lives in Christ.
