The Running to the Edge: A Band of Misfits and the Guru Who Unlocked the Secrets of Speed
'Athletes in any sport stand to learn from Larsen's methods, and Futterman turns in a fluent yarn reminiscent of Plimpton and McPhee.' --Kirkus Visionary American running coach Bob Larsen assembled a mismatched team of elite California runners . . . the start of his decades-long quest for championships, Olympic glory, and pursuit of 'the epic run.' In the dusty hills above San Diego, Bob Larsen became America's greatest running coach. Starting with a ragtag group of high school cross country and track runners, Larsen set out on a decades-long quest to find the secret of running impossibly fast, for longer distances than anyone thought possible. Himself a former farm boy who fell into his track career by accident, Larsen worked through coaching high school, junior college, and college, coaxing talented runners away from more traditional sports as the running craze was in its infancy in the 60's and 70's. On the arid trails and windy roads of California, Larsen relentlessly sought the 'secret sauce' of speed and endurance that would catapult American running onto the national stage. Running to the Edge is a riveting account of Larsen's journey, and his quest to discover the unorthodox training secrets that would lead American runners (elite and recreational) to breakthroughs never imagined. New York Times Deputy Sports Editor Matthew Futterman interweaves the dramatic stories of Larsen's runners with a fascinating discourse of the science behind human running, as well as a personal running narrative that follows Futterman's own checkered love-affair with the sport. The result is a narrative that will speak to every runner, a story of Larsen's triumphs--from high school cross-country meets to the founding of the cult-favorite 70's running group, the Jamul Toads, from national championships to his long tenure as head coach at UCLA, and from the secret training regimen of world champion athletes like Larsen's protégé, American Meb Keflezighi, to victories at the New York and Boston Marathons as well as the Olympics. Running to the Edge is a page-turner . . . a relentless crusade to run faster, farther.

Книга 'Болгарские тайны' Андрея Кудина — своеобразное погружение в историю Болгарии с опытным гидом-проводником.

Viajeras de leyenda. Aventuras asombrosas de trotamundos victorianas
Tenían todo en contra: las convenciones sociales, el machismo de una era que asfixiaba lo femenino, o los peligros del propio viaje, y aún así cruzaron África, desafiaron las selvas de Asia y se convirtieron en reinas de Arabia. Fueron las viajeras victorianas, una raza de mujeres adelantadas a su tiempo. 'Los viajes le dan a uno el privilegio de hacer las cosas más impropias con total impunidad', afirmaba Isabella Bird (1831-1904), unas palabras que resumen su espíritu y el de este libro, y una de las mujeres viajeras protagonistas del libro. Isabela Bird fue la primera mujer admitida como miembro de la Real Sociedad Geográfica de Londres. Una selección de las mejores historias de grandes viajeras victorianas (del siglo XIX). Mujeres viajeras que hicieron uso de su ingenio y sobrevivieron a la soledad, a las fieras y a la enfermedad, imprimiendo un aire de realismo mágico al siglo de las grandes exploraciones con su peculiar sintaxis. Esta obra recoge una sorprendente colección de aventuras protagonizadas en el siglo diecinueve por aquellas viajeras que sabían mucho de relámpagos en las noches de tormenta y nada de los viajes relámpago. Viajes tormentosos a lomos de una mula o en deteriorado barcos de vapor, donde un repentino descuido conducía a una muerte casi segura. Mujeres que recorrieron el globo solas y muchas veces sin dinero, que vivieron sus mejores experiencias durante su ambulante vida. Sus aventuras transcurren en las arenas del desierto árabe, en las junglas de África, en las frías estepas de Rusia, en la remota India, en el Sureste Asiático o en el Lejano Oriente. ¡¡5ª EDICIÓN!! Grabado en español ibérico (España).

Audiobook
'I’ve realised that when things are really tough and there seems no hope for the future, it’s sometimes just Chapter One of a really cool story, and the ending is entirely up to you.' Joey Evans has always loved bikes, from his first second-hand Raleigh Strika at the age of six to the powerful off-road machines that became his passion later on in his life. His dream was one day to ride the most gruelling off-road race in the world, the 9000km Dakar Rally. In 2007 his dream was shattered when he broke his back in a racing accident. His spinal cord was crushed, leaving him paralysed from just below his chest. Doctors gave him a 10 per cent chance of ever walking again. Many would have given up and become resigned to life in a wheelchair, but not Joey Evans. Not only would he get back on his feet and walk, but he would also keep his Dakar dream alive. It was a long and painful road to recovery, involving years of intensive rehabilitation and training, but he had the love and support of both family and friends and an incredible amount of determination. Joey shares the many challenges he and his family faced, relating the setbacks, as well as successes, along the way to the Dakar start line. But the start line was only the first goa. His sights were set on reaching the finish line, which he did in 2017, the only South African to do so. From Para to Dakar is so much more than the story of one man reaching the Dakar finish line. It is a story of friendship and respect, compassion and kindness. It is about defying the odds to reach a dream, it is about grit, endurance and raw courage, and it is inspiring in its true heroism.
