Running and Breathing

by Justin O'Brien

Run, walk, or even bicycle without fatigue That seems the impossible dream for athletes, but Dr. Justin O'Brien, a runner and a yogi, reveals in this book a unique style of sport training that does just that. Trade paper. Inspired by the yogis of the Himalayas, who run fifty miles a day up and down mountainous terrain, O'Brien was intrigued to find out how they could sustain arduous endeavors while remaining tireless. So, he experimented with the breathing and yoga techniques he learned from Swami Rama, an extraordinary Himalayan master, applied them to his conventional running training and gradually assimilated them into an exciting new method.

When a book includes the typo ‘snf’ in place of ‘and,’ it needed an editor prior to publication. When a book includes an entire paragraph with commas instead of periods, it needed an editor prior to publication. When a book … well, I think I’ve made my point. There’s some decent information here, but it’s mostly directed at true beginners – I’m an advanced beginner on a good day, and much of the information was too basic even for me. And the editing. Oh, the editing. Honestly, I’m not even sure the author read this book prior to publication. Not recommended.
