Nearly every human on the planet learns to walk as a toddler and run shortly thereafter. Many go on to run recreationally or even competitively, but never learn to fully utilize their bodies’ potential. Kevin Everett provides a path to create more mindful and purposeful walking, running, and ultimately moving throughout life toward personal health empowerment.
The Heart of Running takes the reader on a journey to discover the “runner’s high†or “flow state.†That sense of purpose and mindful motion gives anyone the edge needed to complete the marathon, competition, steep hill or even simple walk with a stroller in tow with better physical performance and metaphysical benefits. Once a runner, walker, athlete, parent or child learns to harness and maintain that edge, a passion is built to attain a constant and reliable form of self-satisfaction. The Heart of Running places the reader on a path to achieve the runner’s high every time.

"A unusual amount of snow today. I ran with my old partner-my dog.
The last five years of my life have been immersed in training intensely for triathlon This summer I had a sub-performance season.. I knew I needed rest, but my spirit desired more, more answers to "why"? I read a great book on "training with a Navy Seal" and a book written by another, which, everybody should read about "resilience" Both books were enlightening but, what is right for me? I needed to reset my body, mind and spirit. Kevin's book opened the pathway.. I rediscovered why and what brought me to do the things I enjoy and love in life. I restarted to feel my body, listen to my breath and heartbeat.
I looked around and it was such a glorious winter day! Great book! The book is more than just running, as you will find out. It is about finding peace and purpose in everything you do."

- This book is awesome! It really helped me upgrade my mediocre jogging into something much more. My movement has improved so much that my usual aches and pains after a run are greatly reduced. This is truly an enjoyable read; thank you Kevin!
- This book provides great insight for runners. It helps a runner to focus on the "play" of running and how to achieve a natural high while running.
- This book is great!! You don't like to run? Read this!
The writing is great! Thank you! - I think that a book like this has a little something for everyone. For die hard runners, there are new ways to think about form and technique. For new runners, there are mind-sets and philosophies to really think about what is important when it comes to running.
I really enjoyed Kevin's thoughtful approach to not just running, but to life. Just looking at his chapter subjects shows us how introspective this book is beginner's mind, reasons for running, coaching as play, eating with heartfulness, well-being, breathing, posture, balance, healing, and timing. While some of the book is very technical, there are tips we can all use. Getting in touch with how and why we run, running for pleasure, putting away the music, stopping running because we have to and starting to run because we want to, looking at everything we do as play and the fundamental importance of that, breathing specifically and reflectively and so much more are all covered in the book.
If you love to run or want to love to run, this is a great book for you. If you are raising children and you are not sure how to promote sport and a love of being physical, there is a lot to think of in this book. One of my favorite quotes in the book on page 45
"From the Latin, competere, 'strive in common' in classical Latin means 'to come together, agree, to be qualified, strive together;' from com 'together' to petere 'to strive and seek.' Competition's root meaning and true meaning for growth is to strive together for the attainment of something. To go forth together to understand each other's potential. True competition is striving for excellence together. In this way, competition is an opportunity for enjoying a quest to achieve personal and perhaps team potential. The best effort of another has the potential to bring out the best effort in you. There are no winners and losers. Just an attempt to raise the level of play in a way that everyone benefits from a challenging learning experience." (This quote is in relation to how we are raising children and young athletes and the picture we are painting for them)
Kevin's book may not change the how or why you run, but it is guaranteed to make you think and take a new look at the beauty of being a runner. Thanks Kevin! - A unusual amount of snow today. I ran with my old partner-my dog.
