The story of visionary American running coach Bob Larsen's mismatched team of elite California runners who would win championships and Olympic glory in a decades-long pursuit of "the epic run."

In the dusty hills above San Diego, Bob Larsen became America's greatest running coach.
Running to the Edge is a riveting account of Larsen's journey, and his quest to discover the unorthodox training secrets that would lead American runners to breakthroughs never imagined. Futterman interweaves the dramatic stories of Larsen's runners with a fascinating discourse on the science behind human running, as well as a personal running narrative that follows Futterman's own checkered love-affair with the sport. The result is a narrative that will speak to every runner, a story of Larsen's triumphs--from high school cross-country meets to the founding of the cult-favorite, 70's running group, the Jamul Toads; from his long tenure as head coach at UCLA to the secret training regimen of world champion athletes like Larsen's prot g , Meb Keflezighi. Running to the Edge is a page-turner . . . a relentless crusade to run faster, farther.

Great fit, excellent material. Will buy more!
Color: Cobalt Heather, Size: Small
Great quarter zip comparable to the high end designer brands. Buttery material, well fitted. Runs a bit big so I sized down and it’s a perfect trim cut fit. Will buy other colors. Would like to see some patterns in addition to the solid colors. I’m 5’10” 165lbs and small size fits perfectly.

Perfect for the gym!
Color: Cobalt Heather, Size: XX-Large
I bought 2 (black and blue) and wear them to the gym weekly. They wash & dry very well! They are nice enough for casual wear too. I’ll probably buy a 3rd color soon!

Solid option at the price point.
Color: Brick Melange, Size: XX-Large
I love these quarter-zip pullovers. I bought this one as a gift, but I personally own two others myself, which should say a lot. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and extremely versatile. I wear mine for golf, casual office days, and layered when it’s cooler out—they pair well with just about anything. For the price point, they really can’t be beat. The look and feel are comparable to options that cost significantly more. Great value, great performance, and a sharp, clean style. I’ll likely keep buying more.
