Running from a different perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My favorite running book. Short very digestible essays. So many of them made me think about running in a different way. My personal favorite was the introduction to the word proprioception. That is the continuous feed-back of information we get from our bodies when pursuing athletic endeavors. Needless to say you'll never look at a short run the same way.
A book of interesting insights into running
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I started by trying to read this book through at one sitting. It was the wrong approach. This is not one of these best-selling thrillers, which you simply cannot put down. That does not mean it is no good, though. The book rather grows on you, as you read it a bit at a time. A lot of what Jerome says strikes a chord because you realise it applies to life in general. Perhaps the way to describe the book is to call it a "thinking runner's book".
