I signed up like two sports bras, extra supportive!" Looks Like We're Running is a humorous story about failing badly and getting better. Can running save a person's life? Can it improve a marriage?

A quarant¿anni, Bernd Heinrich ¿ grande sportivo e uno dei più importanti biologi del mondo ¿ vuole provare a realizzare il suo sogno: correre, e possibilmente vincere, il campionato nazionale dei 100 chilometri, il più prestigioso evento di ultrarunning statunitense. Per riuscirci ¿ per allenarsi al meglio e affinare la sua corsa ¿ decide di carpire i segreti del regno animale: i piccoli canori che gestiscono perfettamente l¿alimentazione per le loro lunghissime migrazioni; i dromedari, veri e propri maestri nell¿arte di sopravvivere nella fornace del deserto; gli scarabei che riscaldano i muscoli per raggiungere la massima velocità; le rane, che compiono sforzi prodigiosi per attrarre le femmine grazie ai loro canti lunghi una notte intera. Che cosa possiamo imparare dal modo in cui gli altri animali affrontano le loro sfide di ultraresistenza? Cosa abbiamo in comune? Dove nasce il piacere e il coraggio che ci fa correre e competere su distanze apparentemente impossibili? Alternando biologia, antropologia, psicologia e filosofia, "Correre" ci mostra perché ¿ e in che modo ¿ ognuno di noi può essere in grado di sviluppare capacità superumane.

Ross Burns' second book, Long Road to Boston, takes us on his personal and heartfelt journey to fulfill a long-held dream to one day run the Boston Marathon. After delving briefly into his early childhood years growing up on the northern beaches of Sydney and working for over thirty years as a lawyer in Canberra, much of the book spans Ross' life between 2008 and 2017. In 2008, he 'retires' to live the 'good life' in the pristine South Gippsland seaside town of Venus Bay, becomes a reluctant 'chef' in a seafood café, then 'accidentally' re-locates to Perth as a senior commercial lawyer in a Perth law firm before, eventually, moving to beautiful Margaret River and undergoing yet another personal 'reinvention'. This time, working as a FIFO contractor on remote mine and rail construction sites in the spectacular Pilbara desert region of Western Australia.Interspersed with humour and personal drama, Long Road to Boston is the story of an everyday man, his deep love of running, his quest, in his own small way, to help repair the trauma of the shocking Boston Marathon terrorist bombings in 2013, and 'run Boston'.
