Book In It for the Long Run

Download or read book In It for the Long Run written by Scott Ludwig and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple races of marathon distance or greater in a month...or perhaps in a weekend. Several unsupported runs of 50 and 100 miles through the mountains and forests several times a year. Have you ever considered running through a desert, across a frozen tundra or over multiple mountain ranges? Why not run for three days straight to see how many miles you can accrue? Welcome to a place where no locale is too inhospitable and no distance impossible. Welcome...to the Darkside. The Darkside Running Club, established in 2002 is a place where runners meet to express their love for distance running and camaraderie by spending countless hours and miles committed to doing what they enjoy most. They share a singular focus towards achieving goals far off in the distance, both literally and figuratively. With their dedication and commitment you may believe the Darksider to be a professional athlete, or perhaps an Olympian. But you would be wrong: they are simply ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the sport they love: running. Highly competitive while never taking themselves too seriously, they strive to shave off minutes or perhaps hours while adding a mile or two...or twenty while pushing their limits further and further. The impossible becomes possible; dreams become reality. They won't take 'no' for an answer as they persevere to move beyond physical and emotional discomfort to finish what they started. Excuses don't exist. Their passion is contagious. So reader be warned: they're in it for the long run.

Book In It for the Long Run

Download or read book In It for the Long Run written by Damian Hall and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Can't Run Away From This, the new book by bestselling author Damian Hall, is now available for pre-order. In It for the Long Run is ultrarunner Damian Hall's story of his Pennine Way record attempt in July 2020. In July 1989, Mike Hartley set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) record for the Pennine Way, running Britain's oldest National Trail in a little over two days and seventeen hours. He didn't stop to sleep, but did break for fifteen minutes for fish and chips. Hartley's record stood for thirty-one years, until two attempts were made on it in two weeks in the summer of 2020. First, American John Kelly broke Hartley's record by less than an hour, then Hall knocked another two hours off Kelly's time. Hall used his record attempt to highlight environmental issues: his attempt was carbon negative, he used no plastics, and he and his pacing runners collected litter as they went, while also raising money for Greenpeace. A vegan, Hall used no animal products on his attempt. Scrawled on his arm in permanent marker was 'FFF', signifying the three things that matter most to him: Family, Friends, Future. Packed with dry wit and humour, In It for the Long Run tells of Hall's four-year preparation for his attempt, and of the run itself. He also gives us an autobiographical insight into the deranged world of midlife crisis ultramarathon running and record attempts.

Book In the Long Run We Are All Dead

Download or read book In the Long Run We Are All Dead written by Geoff Mann and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking debunking of moderate attempts to resolve financial crises In the ruins of the 2007–2008 financial crisis, self-proclaimed progressives the world over clamored to resurrect the economic theory of John Maynard Keynes. The crisis seemed to expose the disaster of small-state, free-market liberalization and deregulation. Keynesian political economy, in contrast, could put the state back at the heart of the economy and arm it with the knowledge needed to rescue us. But what it was supposed to rescue us from was not so clear. Was it the end of capitalism or the end of the world? For Keynesianism, the answer is both. Keynesians are not and never have been out to save capitalism, but rather to save civilization from itself. It is political economy, they promise, for the world in which we actually live: a world in which prices are “sticky,” information is “asymmetrical,” and uncertainty inescapable. In this world, things will definitely not take care of themselves in the long run. Poverty is ineradicable, markets fail, and revolutions lead to tyranny. Keynesianism is thus modern liberalism’s most persuasive internal critique, meeting two centuries of crisis with a proposal for capital without capitalism and revolution without revolutionaries. If our current crises have renewed Keynesianism for so many, it is less because the present is worth saving, than because the future seems out of control. In that situation, Keynesianism is a perfect fit: a faith for the faithless.

  • ISBN : 1479712450

Download or read book I m good for my sake written by Edward Liebig and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a social gathering about ten years ago, Gosta Oleander, a fraternal friend, asked me the question: what is the Absolute? The only answer I could give him at that time was: something that exists by itself but lacks evidence. During the past years, I have made a study of philosophy and read many books on the subject, in trying to find a better answer. The greatest problem in developing a philosophy is to conceive a natural morality whereby one can be persuaded to virtue without the stimulus of supernatural hopes and fears. In this I personally feel a study of the works of the numerous philosophers and the utilization of logical reason and foresight have all helped me develop a conception of a rational system of ethics. The study led me to develop a personal philosophy and a system of ethics I termed “eudemonism.” It closely follows the dictionary definition of this system of ethics and includes my best answer to the question. In outlining this philosophy, I tried to adhere to simple basic issues that are not philosophical complexities. It includes many thoughts and direct quotations of learned men. I have tried to organize and express their words and aptly expressed ideas as my own. My wife Elsie has been most helpful in developing this concept, we have spent many pleasant hours discussing and reviewing the many aspects of philosophy.

Book Performing Women

Download or read book Performing Women written by Alison Oddey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alison Oddey's interviews with prominent performing women span generations, cultures, perspectives, practice and the best part of the twentieth century, telling various stories collectively. Stand-ups, 'classic' actresses, film and television personalities, experimental and 'alternative' practitioners discuss why they want to perform, what motivates them, and how their personal history has contributed to their desires to perform. Oddey's critical introductory and concluding chapters analyse both historical and cultural contexts and explore themes arising from interviews. These include sense of identity, acting as playing (recapturing and revisiting childhood), displacement of roots, performing, motherhood and 'being', performing comedy, differences between theatre, film and television performance, attitudes towards and relationships with audiences, and working with directors. The prominent subtext of motherhood reveals a consciousness of split subjectivities with and beyond performance.
