Running Brain

Hello. My name is Anthony Ellis, M.D. and I'm a geriatric psychiatrist and reformed couch-potato. My wife and I started down a new path towards health and longevity in 2001 by getting off the couch into road racing. We joined a local group running program and have been avid runners since. I wanted to share information about the life-changing power of group based walking and running programs like the Crim Training Program. The Crim Training Program and its results are featured in my book "Running the Crim - Stories from the Coolest Race in Michigan." There are over thirty inspirational stories included in the book that were written by ordinary people who discovered the joy of running.

The book is available on Amazon.com by clicking HERE.

Anyone can become a runner and enter local races with group support. You'll be helping yourself and usually contributing to charities in your community at the same time. Read the inspirational stories in my book and then...hit the road. Whether you walk or run, your body will thank you and your health will improve.
