This pasty nerd never thought she’d be hanging on to every word of a book about long distance running! That’s how riveting, joyful, meaningful, inspiring, and fun this book about racing, community, physiology, prehistory, and the world’s greatest runners—the indigenous Tarahumara—is. A modern classic published nearly 15 years ago, the science here may be dated in places (including fatphobia), but it remains an important, beloved book sure to have you running out the door, Nikes on or no!
Moderate: Ableism, Chronic illness, Fatphobia, Sexism, Blood, Medical content, Grief, Murder, Cultural appropriation, Alcohol, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
