See Dane Run

by Dane E. Rauschenberg, The Experience Publishers (Editor)

See Dane Run is the account of Dane Rauschenberg's journey to run 52 consecutive weekly marathons in one calendar year all while working a full-time job in the greater Washington D.C. area. The book tells the tale of how Dane progresses from neophyte runner to sub-3 hour marathoner. This book serves not only as a guide to 52 distinct and unusual marathons across North America (for those looking to find that right race) but more importantly, is an inspirational tome for anyone looking to push themselves further than they thought possible. With Rauschenberg's athletic history as a backdrop, he paints the picture of how running never was the real sport of his choosing. From record holder on the swim team in high school, to rugby player in college, to Golden Gloves boxer in law school, Rauschenberg only began running after having already tested all these other sports. He shows how his first few marathons were abject failures and how it took him years to realize what worked best for him in running. Even then he went from just 6 lifetime marathons to planing 52 consecutive weekly marathons in one year. filled with anecdotal humor and a week by week recap of the people and places Rauschenberg encountered, See Dane Run is not a book about running. It is a book about life, while running.

An actually good book about Dane, who decides hes going to run a marathon a week for a year.

Pretty good entertainment.

Recommend.

I really enjoyed reading Dane's personal and honest account of his year spent running a marathon every weekend while still working a 50-hr/wk job. I gave this 4 stars because I liked the book. If I had rated it based on editing and proofreading, it would have received a negative 4 stars...

It is always nice to read a first-person account of long distance running. Dane's fortitude and resilience is compelling. I think the book would have been more enjoyable to read if it had been proofread a bit closer, however.

Excellent running book. More than just a documentary of his Fiddy2 experience, doing 52 marathons in 52 weekends. Lots of good info for runners but entertaining for all.

I got this when I met him at a marathon expo. He ran for a great cause. Well written and gives insights to lots of marathon courses.
