Run the Mile You're In: Finding God in Every Step – eBook

Journey with Olympian Ryan Hall as he reflects on the joys and trials of the running life and, along the way, shows you how his faith has helped him win in his workouts, races, and overall mindset.  

Ryan Hall is an Olympic athlete and American record holder in the half marathon (59:43). But as a kid, Ryan hated running. He wanted nothing to do with the sport until one day, he felt compelled to run the 15 miles around his neighborhood lake. He was hooked.

Starting that day, Ryan felt a God-given purpose in running. He knew he could, and would, race with the best runners in the world and that his talent was a gift to serve others. These two truths launched Ryan's 20-year athletic career and guided him through epic failures and exceptional breakthroughs to competing at the highest level.

Now a coach, speaker, and nonprofit partner, Ryan shares the powerful faith behind his athletic achievements and the lessons he learned that helped him push past limits, make space for relationships that enrich life on and off the running trails, and cultivate a positive mindset. Lessons such as:

Learning how to focus on your purpose and say no to distractionsSelect and strive for the right goals–goals for the heart and the bodyHow to deal with defeat and disappointmentHow to endure immense pain and build resilienceRunning as if you've already won

Ryan's story is one of encouragement and inspiration for readers of any age and level of running ability–or none at all. It's a story that shows that you, too, can change your outlook, see God's hand in your life, and run the race that really matters.
