Resumen del Editor
From elite marathoner and Olympic hopeful Becky Wade comes the story of her yearlong exploration of diverse global running communities from England to Ethiopia - nine countries, 72 host families, and over 3,500 miles of running - investigating unique cultural approaches to the sport and revealing the secrets to the success of runners all over the world.
Fresh off a successful collegiate running career - with multiple NCAA All-American honors and two Olympic Trials qualifying marks to her name - Becky Wade was no stranger to international competition. But after years spent safely sticking to the training methods she knew, Becky was curious about how her counterparts in other countries approached the sport to which she'd dedicated over half of her life. So in 2012, as a recipient of the Watson Fellowship, she packed four pairs of running shoes, cleared her schedule for the year, and took off on a journey to infiltrate diverse running communities around the world. What she encountered far exceeded her expectations and changed her outlook on the sport she loved.
Over the next 12 months - visiting nine countries with unique and storied running histories, logging over 3,500 miles running over trails, tracks, sidewalks, and dirt roads - Becky explored the varied approaches of runners across the globe. Whether riding shotgun around the streets of London with Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt, climbing for an hour at daybreak to the top of Ethiopia's Mount Entoto just to start her daily run, or getting lost jogging through the bustling streets of Tokyo, Becky's unexpected adventures, keen insights, and landscape descriptions take the listener into the heartbeat of distance running around the world.
Upon her return to the United States, she incorporated elements of the training styles she'd sampled into her own program, and her competitive career skyrocketed. When she made her marathon debut in 2013, winning the race in a blazing 2:30, she became the third-fastest woman marathoner under the age of 25 in US history, qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials and landing a professional sponsorship from Asics.
From the feel-based approach to running that she learned from the Kenyans to the grueling uphill workouts she adopted from the Swiss to the injury-recovery methods she learned from the Japanese, Becky shares the secrets to success from runners and coaches around the world. The story of one athlete's fascinating journey, Run the World is also a call to change the way we approach the world's most natural and inclusive sport.

Historia
The 1989 Ironman World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports. In a spectacular duel that became known as the Iron War, the world's two strongest athletes raced side by side at world-record pace for a grueling 139 miles. Driven by one of the fiercest rivalries in triathlon, Dave Scott and Mark Allen raced shoulder to shoulder through Ironman’s 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record - and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.

As he did so masterfully in his New York Times best seller The Gatekeepers, Jacques Steinberg creates a compelling portrait of people obsessed with reaching a life-defining goal. In this instance, the target is an Ironman triathlon---a 2.4-mile open-water swim followed by a 112-mile bike ride, then finally a 26-mile marathon run, all of which must be completed in no more than seventeen hours. Steinberg focuses not on the professional who live off the prize money and sponsorships, but on a handful of triathletes who regard the sport as a hobby.

In 490 BCE Pheidippides ran for 36 hours straight from Athens to Sparta to seek help in defending Athens from a Persian invasion in the Battle of Marathon. In doing so he saved the development of Western civilization and inspired the birth of the marathon as we know it. Even now, some 2,500 years later, that run stands enduringly as one of greatest physical accomplishments in the history of mankind.

In 2013 he famously won the Leadman Series, a combination of nearly 300 miles of high-altitude trail running and mountain biking over the course of five epic endurance races. Macy achieved all of these victories without elite professional training or even exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility.

Fantastic
A phenomenal listen on one woman's journey into the culture and practices of running from various different countries. I didn't want this listen to end. Each chapter ends with a recipe from each country that the author picked up in her travels. Well worth the purchase.

Easy, good story to listen to for runners.
Easy, good story to listen to for runners; especially runners who like travel stories too. While not an encyclopedia of running cultures and philosophies, she does a really good job describing the running scenes of the places she visited. Interesting to hear about the different ways people take interest in the sport.

Even if you Don't Run...
This book is a combination running memoir, travelogue, and memoir of food. It uses running as a backdrop, but is both about athleticism and about people.
Becky Wade has a truly engaging writing style, and has a rare gift of not tooting her own horn. She's a terrific athlete by many standards, but she doesn't run your nose in just HOW fast she can go. As a beginning runner, this is encouraging; my inexpeerience isn't shoved in my face.
The narrator does a terrific job, though she's not very strong on accents so she doesn't try too hard. It's refreshing for a narrator to know her strengths and leave her weaknesses alone.
Pick up this book!

Listen while you run
Any additional comments?
This was simply a 'fun' listen. I took it with me on my Sunday long runs, and I really enjoyed it. Nothing heavy, just a good yarn about running culture throughout the world. If you are a runner and listen to books on your weekend long runs...you'll like this one.

Great except
...for the recipes. They just don't work in an audiobook. Same problem with the great book Cod: A History of the Fish that Changed the World

Loved reading the book, did not love audio version
I loved this book when I read it - Wade tells a wonderful story of an amazing year of running and exploration. I decided to listen to it while training for my next marathon, thinking it would inspire me. The audio version is awful! The speaker is clearly not a runner as she mispronounces running terms over and over which makes the book difficult to listen to as a runner. And her voice does not reflect the inquisitive spirit of adventure that Becky Wade writes so well.

Not exactly Born to Run
I just couldn't get into this, the narration is pretty bad, the writing is stilted and the story lacks any excitement despite being a nice concept.
