You might run for fitness. You might run for speed. But ultimately, running is about much more than the physical act itself. It is about the challenges we face in life, and how we measure up to them. It is about companionship, endurance, ambition, hope, conviction, determination, self-respect and inspiration. It is about how we choose to live our lives, and what it means to share our values with other people. In this year-long memoir, which might be described as a historian’s take on Haruki Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, the celebrated historian Ian Mortimer considers the meaning of running as he approaches his fiftieth birthday. From injuries and frustrated ambitions to exhilaration and empathy, it is a personal and yet universal account of what running means to people, and how it helps everyone focus on what really matters.

In my stories, I reflect on how I began racing in 2001 and, so far, have completed over 50 half marathons and over 300 Marathons and ultras. I finished my 50 Sates and DC marathons on June 1, 2014 in Deadwood, South Dakota and completed my goal of racing on all the continents in Morocco on January 25, 2015. The most challenging races so far have been in Death Valley and Antarctica. Although I have traveled to many places to race, my favorite marathon course remains the Napa Valley Marathon in California, where I ran my first marathon. The stories in this collection are reflections of my encounters and I am grateful for the lessons learned. I have learned that most distance runners do not necessarily have the healthiest hearts. I have witnessed many fatalities during races linked to heart issues which may not have been diagnosed as a pre-existing condition. Race directors of major races have begun highlighting these issues by having runners sign releases of liability specific to heart conditions. My own experience with heart disease, and how my doctors missed all the signs of a 95% blockage on my right main artery, is detailed in my story the "Heart of Hearts." Running and racing on the trails have taught me how to have a greater deal of respect for nature. I have raced in extreme conditions and learned how to better listen to my body. My encounters with wildlife, from mountain lions on the trails near our home in Los Gatos, California, to an encounter with moose and being chased by bears in Alaska while avoiding variety of snakes in different trail regions, have been a constant reminder that I am a guest in their territory. I enjoy trail running and, currently, am mostly interested in ultra-racing. I practice meditative running, Zen walks, yoga and core strength. I also practice and teach Tai-Chi and Qigong. Incorporating their principals has taught me how to transform my running into "mediation in motion" by silencing my mind, being present and connecting with the energy of the earth. Mastery of the game is my motivation. In the early years of racing, I tried answering the question of why I run to my friends and family. Countless hours of training and about a100 races later, I realized that birds do not think of flying and fish do not see the water they swim in. Running is as natural to me as breathing, but it has also been a humbling experience. It has taught me to show up for the events in my life, put one foot in front of the other, make mistakes, embrace the situation and be grateful for the lessons learned. The hardest part of racing these days is getting to the start line. The best parts are the miles I do not remember.

In the tradition of Wild and H Is for Hawk, an Outside magazine writer tells her story—of fathers and daughters, grief and renewal, adventure and obsession, and the power of running to change your life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE I’m running to forget, and to remember. For more than a decade, Katie Arnold chased adventure around the world, reporting on extreme athletes who performed outlandish feats—walking high lines a thousand feet off the ground without a harness, or running one hundred miles through the night. She wrote her stories by living them, until eventually life on the thin edge of risk began to seem normal. After she married, Katie and her husband vowed to raise their daughters to be adventurous, too, in the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. But when her father died of cancer, she was forced to confront her own mortality. His death was cataclysmic, unleashing a perfect storm of grief and anxiety. She and her father, an enigmatic photographer for National Geographic, had always been kindred spirits. He introduced her to the outdoors and took her camping and on bicycle trips and down rivers, and taught her to find solace and courage in the natural world. And it was he who encouraged her to run her first race when she was seven years old. Now nearly paralyzed by fear and terrified she was dying, too, she turned to the thing that had always made her feel most alive: running. Over the course of three tumultuous years, she ran alone through the wilderness, logging longer and longer distances, first a 50-kilometer ultramarathon, then 50 miles, then 100 kilometers. She ran to heal her grief, to outpace her worry that she wouldn’t live to raise her own daughters. She ran to find strength in her weakness. She ran to remember and to forget. She ran to live. Ultrarunning tests the limits of human endurance over seemingly inhuman distances, and as she clocked miles across mesas and mountains, Katie learned to tolerate pain and discomfort, and face her fears of uncertainty, vulnerability, and even death itself. As she ran, she found herself peeling back the layers of her relationship with her father, discovering that much of what she thought she knew about him, and her own past, was wrong. Running Home is a memoir about the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our world—the stories that hold us back, and the ones that set us free. Mesmerizing, transcendent, and deeply exhilarating, it is a book for anyone who has been knocked over by life, or feels the pull of something bigger and wilder within themselves. “A beautiful work of searching remembrance and searing honesty . . . Katie Arnold is as gifted on the page as she is on the trail. Running Home will soon join such classics as Born to Run and Ultramarathon Man as quintessential reading of the genre.”—Hampton Sides, author of On Desperate Ground and Ghost Soldiers

The Hard Run uses running stories to identify types of pain or discomfort and how to use that knowledge to improve your life. Is the pain you are currently suffering something you must endure?
