Description

The TV series Running Man, created by an unlisted creator and produced by an unlisted studio, first premiered on September 13, 2016 in an unspecified country. The series spans 0 seasons with 0 episodes, featuring the voices of an unlisted voice cast. It follows the story of Publisher's Summary A compulsively listenable, remarkably candid memoir from world-class ultramarathon runner Charlie Engle chronicling his globe-spanning races, his record-breaking run across the Sahara Desert, and how running helped him overcome drug addiction and an unjust stint in federal prison. After a decade-long addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol, Charlie Engle hit bottom with a near-fatal six-day binge that ended in a hail of bullets. As Engle got sober, he turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren't far enough he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for 35, 50, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race. The Matt Damon-produced documentary Running the Sahara followed Engle as he led a team on a harrowing, record-breaking 4,500 mile run across the Sahara Desert, which helped raise millions of dollars for charity. Charlie's growing notoriety led to an investigation and a subsequent unjust conviction for mortgage fraud. Engle would spend 16 months in federal prison in Beckley, West Virginia. While in jail he pounded the small prison track, running endlessly in circles. Soon his fellow inmates were joining him, struggling to keep their spirits up in dehumanizing circumstances. In Running Man, Charlie Engle tells the gripping, surprising, funny, emotional, and inspiring story of his life, detailing his setbacks and struggles - from coping with addiction to serving time in prison - and how he blazed a path to freedom by putting one foot in front of the other. This is a propulsive, raw, and triumphant story about finding the threshold of human endurance - and transcending it. ©2016 Charlie Engle (P)2016 Simon & Schuster. This is a Sports & Outdoors series and has received a rating of 9.4/10 from 1,269 viewers.

I bought the book and then discovered the audible version read by the author. I love it when an author reads their own book. Charlie's story is fantastic!I literally couldn't stop listening. A terrific inspiration for just about anyone. Charlie's writing is also fantastic!I highly recommend reading or listening to this book. I think I'll rewatch Running the Sahara and Running America after listening to Running Man.

I have to say this is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Charlie's story is at times funny, eye opening and motivating. I could picture his story as he read it, imagined all of the scenes and rooted for him during the story. If you are looking for a book that is written well and told marvelously the. This is that book. I double dog dare you to give it a listen and you will not be disappointed at all!

I am 51 and a avid reader. Like everyone, life has dealt me a roller coaster. You Charlie have given me hope that I am going to achieve to be the man I want to be. Rocky Balboa was a fictional character that I drew strength from when my inspiration was low. You are my real life Balboa. An amazing story that I will take with me for a very long time. Thank you for your honesty and inspiring me to do the same. Charlie read this audiobook himself and believe that he made not only the smart decision but the best decision. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me the strength to become a better person.

This is a remarkably honest book about the turmoil of addiction and recovery, the joys of adventure and finally steadfastness in the face of deep injustice.Abrilliant mix of A Million Little Pieces and Ultramarathon Man with a tiny dash of The Shawshank Redemption. The author writes and narrates well. Very highly recommended.My hobbyis long distance trail running and I've been aware of Mr. Engle for a while now, having watched and enjoyed the Running The Sahara documentary.Like many runners I was shocked by the legal issue he faced in the time since. That shock soon gave way to outrage - the New York Time's description of the Federal Agent's initial impetus is truly disturbing.If you have any interest in recovery or running or prison or simply well written memoirs - then take a chance with this one.

I didn't expect much from this.I loved Running the Sahara so I gave this booka shot.It is an excellent autobiography and an excellent running book.Frankly the addiction portion was difficult to get through because of the bad life choices that were made, but it made the contrasting portion so poignant. I highly recommend this book !
