10 Books About Running to Add to Your TBR Pile

"What Made Maddy Run: The Secret Struggles and Tragic Death of an All-American Teen" ($10, originally $19)

To be an elite runner, running isn't always enough — weathering the storms of constant scrutiny, extreme performance pressure, tough training, and the possibility of injury all come with the territory, too. Young athletes can be particularly susceptible to struggling with these issues on top of the usual pressures that come with growing up.

"What Made Maddy Run: The Secret Struggles and Tragic Death of an All-American Teen" is a wrenching story about Maddy Holleran, a 19-year-old Ivy League freshman athlete who appeared to have the world at her feet before she died by suicide. Reading about Holleran's relatable fears of not being good enough and letting people down hurts tremendously as the pages inch toward her decision to take her own life.
