welcome to
the bookish athlete
the bookish athlete is for literary, endurance athletes who train for lifelong pursuits, like running and reading. You might be a bookish athlete if:
You’ve got a few pairs of running shoes in your closet and a mountain of books on your nightstand.
Your use your long runs to chip away at 20+ hour audiobooks.
You make lists… races you’d like to do, mountains you want to climb, books you plan to read, etc.
You keep a journal and track your training in mileage and page count.
You want to find the best training plan and the best books…for you.


Value the process, mile markers, and chapters as much as the goals, finish lines, and outcomes.
