Updated: Oct 31, 2021

"Average Joe" hits top 25 Running Books of all time!

"Running for the Average Joe" continues to rise in the list of Top 100 Running Books of All Time. (BookAuthority.org). As featured on CNN, Forbes and Inc - BookAuthority identifies and rates the best books in the world, based on public mentions, recommendations, ratings and sentiment. (Be sure to see the sale price of the book at the end of this post!) Last October, I was honored with the book coming in at #92. In January it rose to #60. In April, it hovered around #45 and in the month of May, it climbed to #35.

Today I learned it has hit another huge milestone - #22 in the "Top 100 Running Books of All Time." Additionally, it is now positioned at #43 in the "Top 100 Fitness Books of All Time."
