Meb for Mortals: How to Run, Eat, and Think like a Champion Marathoner. In conversation with Jason Sanders. With his historic win at the 2014 Boston Marathon, Meb Keflezighi cemented his legacy as one of the great champions of long-distance running. Runners everywhere wanted to know: How did someone two weeks shy of his 39th birthday - who had only the 15th best time going into the race and years of injuries and setbacks - run his personal best, and become the first American man to win Boston since 1983? For the first time, and in unprecedented detail, Meb reveals his complete training program in his new book, MEB FOR MORTALS: How to Run, Eat and Think like a Champion Marathoner (co-written with Runner’s World senior content editor Scott Douglas I April 7, 2014) in which he instructs everyday runners how to put into practice the training, nutritional, and mental principles that have guided Meb through his long career. Whether you’re a long-time marathoner or looking to become a regular runner, Meb for Mortals shares the secrets of a champion athlete who wasn’t born a champion, but became one through hard work, discipline, and a set of guiding principles all runners can use to improve, enjoy and stay on the track as long as possible. Meb Keflezighi (Kef-lez-ghee) is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest runners of our time. The three-time Olympian is the only person in history to win the New York Marathon (2009), the Boston Marathon (2014) and an Olympic medal (2004), on top of more than 20 national titles. He is the founder of the MEB Foundation, which funds programs that promote fitness and other positive lifestyle choices for children. His first book, Run to Overcome, came out in October 2010. He lives in San Diego, CA. More information can be found here: https://marathonmeb.com/
