It is summer, the hay & silage have not yet been made on John Connell's farm, so he has time to indulge his other great passion: running. John sets off on a marathon run of 42.2 kilometres through his native Longford, the scene of his award-winning debut, The Cow Book. As he runs across woodlands, fields & tiny roads, he captures what it is to undertake a marathon moment by moment, in body & mind. He tells the story of his life & contemplates Ireland's history, old & new. He also remembers other great runs he has done, in places as varied as Australia, California & Ibiza, tells the stories of some of his running heroes, such as Haile Gebrselassie & Paula Radcliffe. Part memoir, part essay, The Running Book explores what it is to be alive & what movement can do for a person. It is deeply intimate & wide-ranging, local & global: Connell is as likely to write about colonialism & the effect of British imperialism in Ireland & its former colonies as he is about life on his family farm in Ballinalee, County Longford. Above all, The Running Book is a book about the nature of happiness & how for one man it came through the feet. New, 168 pages, 14x22 cm 💜 #running #marathon #history
