One of the most fun running-related books I've read. Really love the author's positive outlook on life in general and running. There's not so much tips about gear or shoes but more about the mental aspect of the sport. Really insightful and great stories. There's a lot of great comparisons and examples and the writing is a lot of fun. Recommended for runners who are more experienced but need help with the mental aspect of running!

I enjoyed the second half of this book much more than the first. I almost gave up on it. The style it was written was trying to be funny with a dog voice interjecting, but I found it distracting. It was also too rah-rah, “you’re amazing no matter what.” I prefer more concrete training advice. The second half had less dog voice and more training specifics. I was also expecting more stories about other runners. I wished the ones included were more detailed.

Can't not love the Roches
April 16, 2020
I came across this book through one of my usual trusted running resources - Jason Fitzgerald's Strength Running podcast (ep. 47). The interview was interesting enough that I thought I'd check the book out.
Unfortunately, this book is not a good reflection of the Roches' coaching caliber. The second half of the book is actually about running. The first half is all about their dog. The first part of the book, focused on the "Happy Runner Principles," reads like a distracted puppy chasing squirrels. The meandering commentary about finding your personal purpose and enjoying the training process is punctuated with extremely annoying ALL CAPS interjections in their dog's voice, which made it painful and irritating to read. I hate to break it to the authors, but not all runners are dog people. It was a mistake to rely on the canine analogies so heavily. I care a lot about running; I do not care about your puppy in the slightest. Cute pet anecdotes work when they're briefly featured in an introduction, but not when the book completely revolves around them.
Aside from really distracting scattered narrative, the authors could have easily fit the message of the first half of the book into 20-30 pages. There is no reason why it should have been 115 pages (*more* than half the book, in fact), unless they just had a really bad editor. It became clear very quickly that the intended audience for this book is burnt out type-A athletes previously obsessed with their personal stats or semi-pro runners, and not your average recreational runner, despite the authors' efforts to make their message broadly applicable. Perhaps it's just because I've been such an average runner for so long that the vast majority of my enjoyment of and motivation for running could not have possibly come from anything other than the long-term view and process-oriented approach, but the message of Part I seemed embarrassingly...obvious. Another reason why 115 pages seemed like overkill. If you've already got a solid personal motivation for you running habits, the first half of the book has nothing new to offer you.
Part II, focused on training principles, read like an entirely different book. It was fairly informative, well-structured, had very few annoying puppy interjections, and contained some interesting anecdotes from pro runners sprinkled throughout. I found the content on running easy to be the most helpful, as I know I have a chronic problem with not doing my easy runs easy enough. The authors really should have led with some of this content or at least interwoven it with the Happy Runner Principles to make the book more digestible. Were I not such a stubborn reader, I probably would have abandoned this book within the first chapter or two.
The formatting of the book was also rather cumbersome - it's sized like a floppy large print edition of Reader's Digest. Were it sized like the average paperback, it would have been easier to read.
Unless you *really* love dogs and their non-existent attention spans, this is not the running book for you.

Megan Roche (2016 Trail Runner of the Year) and her Husband David Roche (winner of Western States 100 and Hard Rock) have the credentials to write this book. Megan a Stanford Medical graduate use to get up at 3AM to complete her runs before her surgery rotations , and David Roche graduated from Law School and became an environmental lawyer and trained for races despite a 1 hour commute to NYC. From what I understand they quit their professional careers (Megan never saw the light of day outside a hospital) and didn't start residency. They moved to San Francisco area and became running coaches. And they seem far happier with their decision (despite the lingering student loans).
This book takes a look at the process of running- and encourages runners to enjoy the good days, the bad days, the achy days, the days you don't feel at all like running, and encourage runners not get to fixated on results. It looks at the harder issues of running that no one talks about--mental health (a larger percentage than normal of ultra-runners suffer from depression), anxiety, eating disorders, and aging (face it you are getting slower and your PR's may be behind you).
This book may change how I train from 3 weekly intense runs--to what the Roche's advocate more mileage at less than 85% effort (for me that would be a HR below 150), with more short 20 second sprinting strides. They also do not advocate for training for a particular distance--but to improve your running form and mechanics (they argue that your VO2 max is likely genetic and fixed)- but you can become a smoother runner by doing more sprinting.
They also argue for enjoying pizza, cinnamon toast crunch, and ice cream--eating is one of the best parts of burning all those calories. Do worry if you can't fit into a running singlet!
4 stars. Becoming a runner can change a person--and you might as well be happy doing it.

Love, love, LOVED this book.

I’ve been in a running schlump for the past few years and reading this, in conjunction with following some training plans by Track Club Babe (pricey but worth it), has been huge for me in terms of my mental state with running, training approach, and performance. Yeah, the book can be a little cheesy and repetitive, but I actually liked that because I think I needed it to really internalize the happy running philosophy, along with training tips
September 16, 2021
The first part, and also the biggest one, of this work is the self help book I didn't know I needed. It tackles subjects like mortality, depression and mental health, reasons why you'd want to run. Hell it even has that 'take a piece of paper and write down the reasons you'd want to run, picture yourself as a great runner' kind of section.
At first I wanted to reach faster for the second half, the one with technical information about running, but then it really got me thinking about life in general and why we should be focusing on the process and not on the goal so by no means it was wasted time.
As for the second part, the technical one, it touches on the most important aspects of running and as an amateur runner myself I really got some insights about this wonderful sport. For once I did not know about the fact that most advanced runners practice all kind of running types and can without much effort switch between 3K, 5K, 10K to ultra marathons. I always thought you have to specialize into one, but it seems not so much. Anyway there are a lot more insights, mostly about running economy and staying injury free and all that in not that many pages. I definitely recommend.
I actually won this book at a 5K running contest and I couldn't be any happier.

UGH. What a brilliant book. I am a casual runner, not into racing, and found this book absolutely wonderful. The authors are lovable and their approach to running is truly inspiring and, I would argue, transcendent to all facets of life. It is an easy read and a quite good balance of theory/scientific background with practice/anecdotal examples. It also provides some very useful training tips that I will definitely put to good use, not to achieve a goal but to improve the process (HEEEYYOOOO). I will agree with other reviewers that the pop culture references were over the top from time to time and felt like the authors crammed them in there to be more entertaining. However, their writing style and their sense of humour is so entertaining that makes all references to pop culture redundant. Also not a fan of the physical format of the book. I am a bit more traditional in that sense. the fact that the pages are slightly bigger than your average paperback give it a feel of a textbook. Nevertheless, these two minor issues I thought of are more like constructive comments for the next one. Perfect score in my books.

I liked it. Lots of useful information but i found it a little contradicting. In the first part of the book they talk about how winning and competition isn’t important and the second half is about how to get faster and kick ass. Personally their training method wouldn’t work for my busy life and multi sport training approach but I am excited to add a bit more strides to my running routine.
January 30, 2019
So an easy read and maybe a couple things to try. They try to be funny throughout, but maybe too much. Too many pop culture references too. Except I did like reading the Johnstown Flood reference. The running economy and then the run fast to run long resonated as well.

Kindle. Summary: YOU ARE AWESOME! (says Addie Dog), no matter what.... I kept waiting to get to the substance, but it never really happened. If you’re looking for a “feel good” running book, you might enjoy this one. But if you're looking for a book with more substance, you might be disappointed.

If you are interested in running ultra-marathons, or fast-climbing mountains, but also if you just want to make running your resource for fighting stress and keeping fit, the two main authors of this book can help you. Without ever taking themselves too seriously (although reading their biography is scary), the writers push on the good parts of running like having goals and objectives.
Se siete interessati a corre ultra maratone, o salire sulle montagne, ma anche se volete solo fare della corsa la vostra risorsa per combattere lo stress e per tenervi in forma, i due protagonisti di questo libro vi possono aiutare. Senza prendersi mai troppo sul serio (anche se poi leggendo la loro biografia c'é da spaventarsi), i coautori spingono sulle parti belle della corsa, dell'avere degli scopi e degli obiettivi.
I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

Freaking….. SO GOOD!!! Anybody who wants to be a runner or even just dive into the idea of self-love needs to read this book. The philosophy of “you are enough, no matter what” is so simple but so so profound. I found myself examining my past and present for all the ways that I told/tell myself that I’m not enough and realizing how detrimental that was for me. This book takes the idea of “self-help” and applies it to so many different areas that I can’t help but feeling like I have a newfound appreciation for just being alive.
I know this all sounds dramatic but my goodness, I will certainly be re-reading this book in the future. For the actual running and physiological tips sure, but for the running philosophy more than anything.
This, paired with the absolute poetry in Born to Run, could make a grown man cry.

This book has a good mix of theory, science, reasoning and whimsical jokes. It's a bit long winded and has an excess of analogies but it really helps put running into perspective. It provides examples of a number of different situations that may challenge the "happy runner" mind set and how to combat that. Most importantly it reminds us to not take ourselves too seriously and that above all else we are enough. I will definitely keep and refer back to this book in the future!

The Roches have completely changed my upcoming years of training, between pages 120 and 160. Indeed, I will choose and pace every single training run differently. I will not spill the magic sauce here, because I don’t think I would’ve understood it without reading the meandering pages before. I first needed to buy into the idea of the most important thing is to not get injured, and to deeply appreciate every outcome as part of a full life process.
This isn’t a normal, typical training book. Do have patience with it. The Roches are real, accomplished runners and coaches. The style is maximally informal and conversational, which could cost credibility, except for the Roche’s accomplishments, testimonials and credentials. However, this might be honest but doesn’t make me yearn to continue: “ The one place we are the worlds foremost expert is in our own ignorance.“ (p. xviii) Then “we sketched out all the answers about the meaning of life (cut for space)“ (p. xx) har har. The humor gets even better as I adapt to expect it — analyzing life stress in terms of a pizza party, perfect.
Keys: know why, be kind, be grateful for today because it all ends. Advice for meaningful life, as much as for athletes.
“You may become a little happier and a little speedier.… You might find yourself not caring about your results much at all, starting a friendship with the insecurity monster between your ears. You live, your love, your run, and you die. The whole time, no matter what, you are enough, unconditionally. ” (p. Xxiii)
The picture selections are pretty great, but they only decorate chapter beginnings. Even more would have been that much more engaging, and presumably not that difficult to add.
Some real gems in the prose. If everything were easy, “we’d all share a high fives and ride off on our pet unicorns.” (P91) “Heat is often just love with anger management issues.” (P120)
“Belief isn’t about thinking you’ll win a gold medal, it’s about thinking you can keep growing even when you’re handed evidence to the contrary. But here’s the really cool part. If you really truly buy into yourself, and work strategically in pursuit of your goals, those long-term dreams have a magical way of becoming reality.” (P205)

The most holistic and encouraging running book I have encountered. I love the layout of focusing on understanding the authors and their relationship, then focusing on the psychological and mental approach, followed only then by the (legitimate) science behind training methodology. And it’s filled with ridiculous(ly silly) humor. If you want a training plan, look elsewhere. If you want a life and running philosophy that positively impacts yourself and those around you, this is your book.
February 11, 2019
There is a lot of great stuff in here for runners. Couldn’t give it 5 stars cause I also found the dog bits highly irritating. Woozles? Zoomies? Not what I came for. Distracting. I could relate much more to the second half(ish) of the book but it will depend what speaks to you. Definitely worth a read, especially if you’re looking for something more from running than just a time on a clock at the end of some race.
January 21, 2019
Really enjoyed the framework Roche puts forward, and really focusing on the long term. i.e. thinking about years and not just one training block.
Fairly easy ready, but at times found their tongue and check pop culture references distracting.

Although the cheesy dog-and-pizza references that fill this book may have been a bit corny for me at times, I truly enjoyed this book and am so excited to apply all its advice to my running. I think right now -- when I have no idea when my next race will be -- was the perfect time to read a book so focused on process over results in running. I am so happy to be a runner; running makes me so happy on a daily basis, and I am eager to work to make my relationship to this sport sustainable and happy for years to come. I find the actionable advice in this book to be the most valuable part - taking rest days, making sure your easy days are easy, doing lots of strides, etc. I'm pretty convinced that I put that advice into practice. The more abstract notions, however, about belief in yourself and in the process, will required more personal reflection on my part to implement. I think all runners should read this book, both for the easily-implementable advice and for the fact that a light-hearted book might be what a lot of people need right now.

Reading this book during my first “big” injury of my running career has helped me take a super shitty outlook and situation (I’m missing one of my two target races this spring!) and make it into part of the journey. It’s also helped me understand my relationship with running, the competitiveness I feel with other runners my age, and the inadequacy that the constant competitiveness has made me feel. I’m really looking forward to getting back out onto the roads in a month or so, and going back out there with joy and the knowledge that my speed, my distance, and my effort is enough, because I am enough.

July 31, 2019I belong to an awesome running club here in San Francisco, and one of the activities they offer is a quarterly book club. This quarter, we read The Happy Runner. I have to say, I loved this book. I think runners (myself included!) tend to get very focused on race results instead of loving the process of training. The authors offer a way out of this cycle and an alternative way of thinking about running that is empowering, joyful, and very pro-pizza. As an added bonus, my club got to FaceTime with David Roche during the meeting and chat with him about The Happy Runner. The best part was when Addie, an adorable black and white spotted dog that appears frequently in the book, climbed into David’s lap for part of the conversation. —Elizabeth (excerpted from Bookish's Staff Reads)

First half about mentality: the writing style was very very annoying however if I did not already know the stuff it would have been beneficial. And I appreciated how they tried to normalize accidentally shitting yourself on a run (2/5)
Second half about speed work: very useful for me because I don’t know many technical things about running. I now have specific strategies I want to try to get faster. imissrunningimissrunningimissrunning (4/5)

I loved this book. It's a bit new age-ish, with lots of moments of "You gotta love yourself, man!" but it was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. It taught me a lot about myself and running, in both abstract (love the running /process/ that defines the everyday) and practical (practice running fast a lot!) ways. All in all a fabulous read - could not love David and Megan Roche more.

The Roches are the best, smartest, largest, wisest encouragers in the game. Starting with the why is pretty rundown in work/fitness/life scenario is but this hits different. Satisfied science based training theory and remained true to the point of running: it brings a smile to my face. This has helped make that achievable for the rest of my life.

This books gives a happy and healthy perspective on running that many runners would benefit from (myself included)! A perfect combination of advice on how to run happy for your whole life and practical training tips
