Some days Ray talks about the nitty-gritty details, other days, it's about the things that make running interesting and fun, even - no, especially - when it hurts. Training for his marathon is important to Ray, but he leavens his obsessiveness with a dry humor that acknowledges that one mid-packer's race isn't going to change the world.\"Ray Charbonneau insists he hasn't written a marathon guide, and he's right. Instead, he's loaning himself out as a thoughtful, veteran, and funny training partner. You couldn't find a better one as you get ready for your next 26.2-miler.\"-Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner and Editor-At-Large, Runner's World\"Marathon running is the easy part. It's the thinking that's the challenging part for the long-distance runner. Ray shares his internal dialogue with us as he readies himself for one more attempt at 26.2.\"-Dave Goodrich, the \"Marathon Maine-iac\" (Marathon Maniac #238)\"Ray is the opposite of me: he's speedy, understands math, and cares about the weather. I have instructed his cat to keep him awake until he agrees to pace me.\"-Vanessa Rodriguez, author of The Summit Seeker: Memoirs of a Trail Running Nomad\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928833655072,"sku":"NEW1481005421","price":21.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/overthinking-the-marathon-1481005421","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
