Competitive athletes, especially those who are past their physical prime, often dream about spending a few months training with top coaches and medical experts. Marathoner, author, nutritionist, and coach Fitzgerald (Iron War; Racing Weight) lived that dream in the summer of 2017, training for the Chicago Marathon. Fitzgerald had run 40 marathons and many shorter races and was deeply disappointed with his past performances. He was able to join the shoe company Hoka One's professional running team to train in Flagstaff, AZ, the mecca for high-altitude running training. Fitzgerald found full-time training rewarding and fulfilling; this book is a solid recounting of his experiences, demonstrating that ability should not govern how good a runner can be. Instead, passion and commitment are what counts. VERDICT Readers interested in running, the dynamics of pursuing high goals, and the life of a professional runner will find this book worthwhile.--Mark Jones, Mercantile Lib., Cincinnati
