David Horton is one of the most prolific runners of our modern times. And a fun loving guy at that!

I took this interview from my www.TrailRunningSecrets.com website, because I think it speaks to more than just runners. In the interview, we cover everything from finding inspiration, some of his scariest moments in the woods, to how he teaches his students to enjoy running and learn from its lessons for success in the other realms of life.

He's a professor, co-author of "Quest for Adventure" and star of the film "The Runner". I was lucky enough to get him on the phone to conduct this interview between classes, running and eating. Three of his favorite things!

I suggest you listen in even if you're not a runner, nor ever plan to be one. There are lessons here that trancend the sport...
