I've downloaded a 'sample' onto my laptop and am unable to decide whether it is good, deep, affirming stuff, or whether it is neo-hippy twaddle. Views, please?

Hippy twaddle, bought the book & ended up shouting at it!

What ogee said. Funnily enough the book is rather repetitive too! This blog (Binks's) is (a) much more informative and (b) far better written: runningandstuff.com |

Not a book I'd recommend. Bit of a ramble really.

Isn't running all about trying to recreate the feeling of youth and yet at a deeper level a fruitless attempt to stave off death? Or is it all adulation and lycra?

The former, Rich my splendid friend. The latter is called 'cycling'.

That's all about the bike. I don't believe that Lance Corporal Armstrong. He's barely a proper NCO.
