Footnotes: How Running Makes Us Human by Vybarr Cregan-Reid

2.0

There were bits of this that I loved, and that made me want to go get lost running somewhere. Maybe even without my shoes? But the easiest way to express what didn't resonate with me is that it read like it was written by someone with a PhD in literature (which obviously it was). I love Thomas Hardy, but maybe not enough for so many tangents that seemed only vaguely related to running, at least not when I hadn't signed up for a deep dive on British literature. Overall it was enjoyable but I found myself skimming bits to get back to the goodness of running in the English, and many other, countrysides.
