Runology is the scientific study of running faster, increasing endurance, living longer, addiction, healing, getting high, and cool T-Shirts. Running is an exercise and a sport that can extend lifespan but has dangers associated with it as well. Many people run for their health or to lose weight...some compete for medals or trophies...some for a sense of accomplishment and some to raise awareness or money for a cause. This book is written for all runners...from beginners to elites...and covers topics not found in most "boring" running books. This book combines humor and scientific research to explain an addiction that can help you live longer. You will run faster and further...burn more fat...relieve stress...reduce the risks associated with running, and convert your wardrobe to the coolest race t-shirts My relationship with running is a strange one. Just listen to a recent conversation I had with myself while running a local race: Throughout most of the race: "This SUCKS Why am I doing this? My legs feel like concrete blocks My lungs are screaming at me I could be chillin on the couch right now This SUCKS " After the race: "That was AWESOME I can't wait to do this again I think I'll go for a run again later today That was AWESOME " Running is a mental sport...and we are all insane "
