Here is a clever, tongue-in-cheek “dictionary” that’s perfect for any runner. The Running Dictionary is filled with hilarious definitions for hundreds of running terms, plus dozens of witty illustrations. Terms range from race lingo, gear, and human anatomy to the insider jargon that all runners know and speak fluently, from “active recovery” to “zone running.” With equal parts quirky humor and charming giftability, it’s a delightful book for every running obsessive.

“As a professional humorist who often writes about running, I had believed it was impossible to be genuinely and consistently funny about the topic, and I am very annoyed at Mr. Remy for proving me wrong.”
—Peter Sagal, host of NPR’s Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me! and author of The Incomplete Book of Running
-
“You’ll laugh, but you may also blush in recognition as Remy’s definitions fondly skewer the quirks and contradictions (and bald-faced lies?) that lurk in the runner’s heart.”
—Alex Hutchinson, New York Times bestselling author of Endure and The Explorer’s Gene
-
“If you have a friend who is new to running, a longtime training partner, or if you just want a good laugh at yourself, get a copy of The Running Dictionary. Anyone in the running community will see themselves in the definitions!”
—Kara Goucher, two-time Olympian and bestselling author of The Longest Race
