Across America on Foot: by Brian Risk Stark, et al.

Across America on Foot: 27 Stories of Adventure, Endurance, and Inspiration by Brian Risk Stark, Across America Author Group, et al. Why would anyone travel across the American continent on foot? The answer can be found in each of the 27 adventures in this compilation. This book is the first-ever collection of people who have crossed the USA from one side to the other, and in some cases, more than once. Some traveled east to west; others went vice versa. Some crossed without support and others had family or organizations assisting. These persons are from all walks of life: a recovering alcoholic, a retired CEO, a housewife, a teenager, and even a 10-year-old boy and his father. Some had a support vehicle while others were at the mercy of the elements with nothing more than a jogging stroller or a day pack. These are stories of adventure where auto and truck traffic were dangers of daily life. These are untold stories one cannot find in daily headlines. They are stories that can only be told by those who have traveled more than 2,500 miles Across America on Foot.

He is 49 years old, and it will require the performance of a lifetime. One Track Mind tells the story of these 24 life-changing hours. It reveals the mental tools that make it possible to run six marathons in a single day, and how they can be applied to other parts of life. And it shares the realisations about life that remain long after the race has ended. A love letter to a race, to a community at the frontier of sport and to life itself, One Track Mind is an inspirational examination of the fascinating world of extreme endurance.
