Becoming a Sustainable Runner is not just another running guide on
developing the physical attributes to run faster or longer. What it
will help you achieve is a newfound purpose that merges your
passion for running with your concern for your health, your
community, and the environment. It weaves together concepts of
internal and external sustainability in a way that will help you
run, think, and act in a way that is in line with your values.
Divided into three parts, the book begins by giving you the tools
to find excitement and joy in your runs and sustain your running
for the long term. These include acknowledging stressors, setting
new challenges, changing where you run and who you run with, and
prioritizing physical and mental rest to minimize the risk of
injury, illness, and burnout. Next, discover ways to enrich your
running through personal connections. Learn about the importance of
joining or forming a running community that fosters comradery with
others who believe in the power of service and in giving back in
meaningful and impactful ways. Then, tap into your passion to
sustain our planet. Know what it means to be an eco-conscious
traveler, make environmentally friendly choices about where you run
and the products you use, and reduce your carbon footprint through
the 3R’s: reducing, reusing, and recycling. Throughout the book
you’ll enjoy stories from the authors about their personal
challenges and triumphs as runners and stewards of the environment.
Quotes and insights from well-known runners who are also climate
change and environmental justice advocates underscore the breadth
and depth of the issues facing us all. As a runner, you have the
power to change the world for the better. Becoming a Sustainable
Runner provides actionable steps to help you do just that.
