Like New in Fine jacket Size: 6x1x9; With brief gift inscription by and signed by author. A compulsively readable, remarkably candid memoir from world class ultra-marathon runner Charlie Engle chronicling his globe-spanning races, his record-breaking run across the Sahara Desert, and how running helped him overcome drug addiction...and an unjust stint in federal prison. In Running Man, Charlie Engle tells the gripping, surprising, funny, emotional, and inspiring story of his life, detailing his setbacks and struggles-from coping with addiction to serving time in prison-and how he blazed a path to freedom by putting one foot in front of the other. This is a propulsive, raw, and triumphant story about finding the threshold of human endurance, and transcending it. Charlie Engle is a world-renowned ultra-marathon runner, having won or placed in some of the planet's most punishing long-distance footraces. In 2007, Matt Damon produced and narrated Running the Sahara, a film about Engle and his successful bid to become the first person to run 4500 miles across the Sahara Desert. Engle has been featured in Men's Journal, Outside, National Geographic Weekend, Oxford American, Runner's World, The Huffington Post, PBS's Need to Know, NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and NPR's All Things Considered.
