What's before we get to this week's episode no ad read but I did want to give a quick shout out and I do have a lot of listeners who enjoy reading some running books.

This isn't your typical running book, but I did want to give a shout out to

Alex Hutchinson who writes her outside magazine, used to write at Runners World. If you're

familiar with Breaking 2, and the Run's world coverage of it.

Alex was probably one of the writers behind some of the very deep pieces that they did.

So Alex's new book, it's called Endure, Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance.

And it delves a little bit into the Breaking Two stuff, but generally explores the limits of endurance in various contexts of life whether it's the mind

whether it's the body when it's some of these incredible performances that we see

sometimes and you really can't explain it he's got an explanation within his book.

If you enjoyed something like the sports gene or peak performance,

then this book belongs on that same shelf.

So it's out on February 6th, but you can preorder it now. It's available from Harper

Collins. It's available from Parnes and nobles. You can get it.

The foreword is written by Malcolm gliable, a good friend of CDSmag.com.

It says on the cover, this book is amazing.

I have to agree with that.

So check it out today, or pre-order it today, and then once you get it in the mail, it give it a read let me know maybe we'll have

Alex on the show in the next couple of weeks to discuss you know the process of writing the

book and some of the things that he found most interesting while reporting on it.

So yeah, just a little quick plug for a friend.

And now here's what you guys have been waiting for. This is the Meb Kefleski episode.

You probably heard a lot about Meb before the New York City Marathon.
