Pacing can be the difference between a breakthrough workout and a backbreaker, a PR and a DNF. In How to Run the Perfect Race, acclaimed running coach and author Matt Fitzgerald reveals how conventional training and device overdependence will keep you from accessing the full power of pacing.

The collection Tales of the Jazz Age includes the short stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Jelly-Bean ; May Day ; Porcelain and Pink ; Tarquin of Cheapside ; Oh Russet Witch! ; The Lees of Happiness ; Mr. Icky ; Jemina, The Mountain Girl.
