The Alchemy of running

Anthony Famiglietti, known in elite running as Fam, is a two-time Olympic runner and six-time U.S Champion on the track and roads. He's also earned the rare honor of becoming a Sir Knight within the order of the Knights Templar and a Master Freemason. Fam has spent over a decade building out The Alchemy of Running as an extensive in-depth guide into the lesser known, yet powerful techniques and secrets he's used to achieve incredible running success. There is no other running book or any book like this in sport.

Of all existing competitive sports, running is undoubtedly the most ancient.

Few know that the symbol of the winged foot which is often used to represent the sport of running was adopted from the legacy of Mercury, or Hermes Trismegistus. The Alchemy of Running details the significant representative relationship between the act of running and the secrets embedded within the ancient hermetic practice of alchemy. This running book is a rare gem.

In alchemy a practitioner aims to transmute an everyday base substance into gold. In The Alchemy of running, Fam details the true meaning of this miraculous process as it pertains to personal growth. In running the competitors win a prize of gold, silver or bronze medals. Many have mistaken the material medals as the embodied object of attainment. The truth is these are simply representational. They represent what each runner has become by way of the internal alchemical process of self-purification. Through the crucible of exertion, pain and fatigue, we begin the process of burning off all of our personal doubts, weaknesses, bad habits and short comings that keep us from transmuting into the most refined manifestations of ourselves.
