This book delves into the running and racing adventures of the author Mark Ryall and his daughter Stephanie. When she was just seven years old, Stephanie shows a keen interest in running. Realizing she cannot be held back, Mark is forced to get off the couch and join in her workouts. Over the next seventeen years, they both progress as distance runners and pursue shared dreams in competitive age-group racing. They encounter many ups and downs along the way as Stephanie matures into a university track and cross country athlete and Mark transitions into serious triathlons. As both father and coach, Mark always looks to safeguard Stephanie’s health and long-term athletic development, which causes her to push back at times. Using personal stories, humorous situations, training advice, and significant scientific research, the author lends the reader a unique look inside the world of younger and older runners. A great read for runners of all ages, as well as their coaches and parents!
