Autor

Dirk Vlieks began moving the moment he was born. From childhood days of hiking and skiing in the Alps to tennis and biking as a California teen, he did not enjoy sitting still. After playing Division I tennis for four years at St. Mary's College in Moraga, California, and playing tennis semi-professionally in Brazil, he discovered triathlon, ultra-distance running, and skate-skiing. He has competed in multiple Ironman-distance triathlons around the world, including the Kona Hawaii Ironman. These days he looks for marathons and half marathons from his home in Mystic, Connecticut, where he lives with his wife, Kelsey, and his twin daughters, Anna and Elizabeth. Amby Burfoot, a lifelong runner and running advocate, has been executive editor of Runner's World magazine since 1985. In 1968, he won the Boston Marathon, the first American to do so in eleven years. He is the author of The Principles of Running and Runner's World Complete Book of Running. He lives in Mystic, Connecticut.
