  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dubbed the &quot;Mayor of Running,&quot; Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in the sport, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career a decade ago. With insight and humor, My Life on the Run chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he&#8217;s experienced while competing in more than 1,000 competitive races during his nearly 30 years with Runner&#8217;s World magazine. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso gives valuable and practical advice on how to become a runner for life and continually draw joy from the sport. He also offers practical guidance for beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners, such as 5-K, half-marathon, and marathon training schedules including his innovative technique known as the Yasso 800s. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Recounting his adventures in exotic locales like Antarctica, Nepal, and Chitwan National Park in Africa (where he was chased by an angry rhino), Yasso recommends the best exotic marathons for runners who want to grab their passports to test themselves on foreign terrain. With the wit and wisdom of a seasoned insider, he tells runners what they need to know to navigate the logistics of running in an unfamiliar country. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso&#8217;s message is this: Never limit where running can take you because each race has the potential for adventure.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dubbed the &quot;Mayor of Running,&quot; Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in the sport, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career a decade ago. With insight and humor, My Life on the Run chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he&#8217;s experienced while competing in more than 1,000 competitive races during his nearly 30 years with Runner&#8217;s World magazine. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso gives valuable and practical advice on how to become a runner for life and continually draw joy from the sport. He also offers practical guidance for beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners, such as 5-K, half-marathon, and marathon training schedules including his innovative technique known as the Yasso 800s. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Recounting his adventures in exotic locales like Antarctica, Nepal, and Chitwan National Park in Africa (where he was chased by an angry rhino), Yasso recommends the best exotic marathons for runners who want to grab their passports to test themselves on foreign terrain. With the wit and wisdom of a seasoned insider, he tells runners what they need to know to navigate the logistics of running in an unfamiliar country. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso&#8217;s message is this: Never limit where running can take you because each race has the potential for adventure.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[GREAT read and totally inspiring! Yasso reminded me that running should be FUN above all else. He's been on some crazy adventures and got the stories to prove it. What an inspiration! I'm almost ready to sign up for a marathon...<br/><br/>Last 1/3 to 1/4 of the book has training plans for racing. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dubbed the &quot;Mayor of Running,&quot; Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in the sport, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career a decade ago. With insight and humor, My Life on the Run chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he&#8217;s experienced while competing in more than 1,000 competitive races during his nearly 30 years with Runner&#8217;s World magazine. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso gives valuable and practical advice on how to become a runner for life and continually draw joy from the sport. He also offers practical guidance for beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners, such as 5-K, half-marathon, and marathon training schedules including his innovative technique known as the Yasso 800s. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Recounting his adventures in exotic locales like Antarctica, Nepal, and Chitwan National Park in Africa (where he was chased by an angry rhino), Yasso recommends the best exotic marathons for runners who want to grab their passports to test themselves on foreign terrain. With the wit and wisdom of a seasoned insider, he tells runners what they need to know to navigate the logistics of running in an unfamiliar country. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso&#8217;s message is this: Never limit where running can take you because each race has the potential for adventure.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dubbed the &quot;Mayor of Running,&quot; Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in the sport, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career a decade ago. With insight and humor, My Life on the Run chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he&#8217;s experienced while competing in more than 1,000 competitive races during his nearly 30 years with Runner&#8217;s World magazine. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso gives valuable and practical advice on how to become a runner for life and continually draw joy from the sport. He also offers practical guidance for beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners, such as 5-K, half-marathon, and marathon training schedules including his innovative technique known as the Yasso 800s. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Recounting his adventures in exotic locales like Antarctica, Nepal, and Chitwan National Park in Africa (where he was chased by an angry rhino), Yasso recommends the best exotic marathons for runners who want to grab their passports to test themselves on foreign terrain. With the wit and wisdom of a seasoned insider, he tells runners what they need to know to navigate the logistics of running in an unfamiliar country. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Yasso&#8217;s message is this: Never limit where running can take you because each race has the potential for adventure.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

There is something about someone else's story that inspires, even if that someone else is, well, an absolute nut.<br/><br/>Enter Bart Yasso.
