Running in Real Life

Everything you ever wanted to know about running... ... is in a different book!

This book, Running in Real Life, is a selection of stories, anecdotes and race reports that paint a picture of what running is really like when you are not completely perfect at it, and mostly do it to socialise and eat cake. If it does answer any questions for you, it is likely to be the ones you never knew you wanted to ask, such as:

Where do most runners choose for a wild wee? What is a NENDY? Are there any pitfalls to naked running?

This book doesn't expect you to be a superstar athlete and, in return, it doesn't tell you how to be one. It just wants to let you know that if you run then you are a runner, regardless of your pace, ability or the length of your shorts. Oh, and it also serves to warn you about accidentally flashing race photographers, avoiding dodgy portaloos, and why citrus fruit is not a good choice for your pre-race breakfast!
