Broken Open: Mountains, Demons, Treadmills And a Search for Nirvana

David Clark's Broken Open is an inspiring story of transformation, perseverance, and inner strength.

As a formerly obese alcoholic and fast food junkie, David found a new life in running, completing over 100 races, including the Leadville 100-Mile Trail Run and Hardrock 100.

His journey is raw, honest, and pure adrenaline-laden inspiration as he shares his unique brand of Americana and Heavy Metal Buddhism.

Through his vision quest, David navigates hallucinations and breaks from reality in one of the most epic Badwater 135 race experiences ever told.

Broken Open is not just a running story but a journey to find balance in a world of extremes, discover inner strength, and create a legacy.

This book will inspire you to never doubt your capabilities and endurance, and show you how to find true happiness through running.
