Dean KarnazesA Runner's High: Older, Wiser, Slower, Stronger (Paperback)
R199
About
Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits, from running in the shoe-melting heat of Death Valley to the lung-freezing cold of the South Pole. He's raced and competed across the globe and once ran 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. In A Runner's High, Karnazes chronicles his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in his mid-fifties after first completing the race decades ago. The Western States, infamous for its rugged terrain and extreme temperatures, becomes the most demanding competition of his life, a physical and emotional reckoning and a battle to stay true to one's purpose. Confronting his age, wearying body, career path and life choices, we see Karnazes as we never have before, raw and exposed. A Runner's High is both an endorphin-fuelled page-turner and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors.

The perks of being a sidepiece
There are a lot of songs about standing tall and knowing your worth, and refusing to be just someone's sidepiece. But, humour us for a second. Is being on the side really such a bad thing?
Sitting on the sidelines of a soccer match means you're literally right there, catching the action from the best seat in the house. Side dishes at restaurants? How often have you wished you could have had more of those, rather than your less-than-wow-worthy main meal?
And last, but not least, as luxurious as a coffee table looks in the centre of the living room, be honest - how many times have you slammed your shin against one and cursed its carpenter, wishing there was space for it just next to the sofa?
All things considered, sometimes life is just better on the side. Which is why our main deal today is these luxurious looking side tables from REFINED.
