Running the Dream: One Summer Living, Training, and Racing with a Team of World-Class Runners Half My Age is the story of Matt’s own journey as he pushes himself to see just how fast he can really go. He’d be a runner for most of his adult life, but never felt that he was fulfilling his ultimate potential. Now, in his mid-forties, Matt sets out to train for a summer with the Northern Arizona Elite, one of the country’s premier professional running teams. The team is filled with national champions and Olympic hopefuls, and training with them will redefine for him what is possible, not only for himself but for any runner.

Iron War: Dave Scott, Mark Allen, and the Greatest Race Ever Run is the story of the 1989 Ironman World Championship which is considered to be the greatest race war in endurance sports history. The two strongest athletes, Dave Scott and Mark Allen, raced shoulder to shoulder for the Ironman’s 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After an eight hour race, the two men would both demolish the world record and finish just 58 seconds apart.
