An Indiana runner has taken it upon himself to curate a list of running-related books and podcasts related to the sport, according to Current.
Don Hahn, 47, started Runnerd, in particular the Runnerd Library, which aims to give runners (or merely fans of the sport) a one-stop shop for all running-related content.
According to Current, when Hahn ran a marathon in 2005 he was trying to read any running book he could find.

“[Runnerd] is [for] people who can’t get enough of running,” Hahn told the outlet. “Like, we talk about it all the time. We eat, sleep, and breathe it.”
In July, Runnerd, which is also a publishing company, released two of its own books, Tiny Little Running Shorts, a series of, er, short stories by Bill Kenley, and The Order of the Red Lion, a young-adult World War II book by Tim Byers. The latter does not actually fit the running theme, but according to Current, Hahn was moved by the manuscript.
Hahn has also produced several podcasts since the company’s inception, including a conversation with the New York Times bestselling author, Neal Bascomb, who wrote The Perfect Mile—an in-depth look at how Roger Bannister broke four minutes in the mile.
Heather is the former food and nutrition editor for Runner’s World, the author of The Runner’s World Vegetarian Cookbook, and a seven-time marathoner with a best of 3:31—but she is most proud of her 1:32 half, 19:44 5K, and 5:33 mile. Her work has been published in The Boston Globe, Popular Mechanics, The Wall Street Journal Buy Side, Cooking Light, CNN, Glamour, The Associated Press, and Livestrong.com.
