{"product_id":"bill-mckibben-long-distance-9781605291246","title":"Long Distance","description":"A new edition of a classic book about what it takes to be a world-class athlete and where the true meaning of endurance can be found. At 37, the celebrated writer and environmentalist Bill McKibben took a break from the life of the mind to put himself to the ultimate test: devoting a year to train as a competitive cross-country skier. Consulting with personal trainers, coaches, and doctors at the US Olympic Center, he followed the rigorous training regimen of a world-class athlete. Along the way, he learned to cope with his physical limitations and, when his father was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor, discovered something about the real meaning of endurance. Told with his trademark intelligence, humor, and honesty, Long Distance is an insightful examination of the culture and mind-set of endurance athletes, and a moving and inspiring meditation on finding balance in our often harried lives.","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53325299024214,"sku":"9781605291246-G","price":9.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781605291246_1.jpg?v=1784291193","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/bill-mckibben-long-distance-9781605291246","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
