We are all running.

Sometimes toward applause. Sometimes away from silence.

But most often—from ourselves.

Marathon Game – Who Are You Running From is not about sports. It is about the hidden race many of us find ourselves in: the endless pursuit of approval, the constant pressure to stay in motion, and the quiet fear of stopping long enough to feel.

In this sharp and honest book, J.D. Veyne explores:

- Why the "starting line" was never really yours

- How applause becomes addictive—and why it leaves you empty

- The pace that breaks you, and the mirror that reveals you

- Permission to walk when the world demands you run

- How to step out of the game without losing yourself

This is not a manual for running faster. It is an invitation to stop running from who you are.

If you've ever felt exhausted by the race you never chose, this book will help you find your own rhythm again—steady, human, and real.
