Has anyone else read her latest book “The Motion of the Body through Space”? It centres around a husband in his 60s who suddenly decides to train for a marathon and a wife who has had to stop running having worn her knees out after many years.

I found it deadly serious and hilariously funny. It doesn’t hurt for us runners to take a look at what we’re doing and how boring obsessives can be.
