“Not since Dr. Kenneth Cooper inspired an entire nation to get out and run, with his book Aerobics, has anything been written that provides such a powerful inducement to get moving as Inspired To Run. Grant Campbell loves to run, and as much as running, he equally loves to talk about running and about runners. With more than five dozen ultramarathon runs to his credit, Grant has more than proven his interest in the time-honored sport of running. His running clinics change lives, and now Inspired To Run will change countless more lives, converting non-runners into runners and motivating committed runners to be their best. The stories in Inspired To Run are about committed people who did exceptional things. Every story in the book is uplifting, and every performance was spectacular. Each runner set a new standard for what runners can be capable of. Sit back, read, and appreciate the stories in Inspired To Run, and know that you too will find fresh enthusiasm to get out and enjoy your running, more than ever.”
- Foreword by Dr. Douglas N. Graham, D.C., Coach And Author of bestseller The 80/10/10 Diet, Nutrition and Athletic Performance, Prevention & Care of Athletic Injuries and Perpetual Health.
