[Annieapple]

AlMorr alerted me to this excellent broadcast. You can catch it up anytime for a few months or download it & listen on a run. 40 mins ..well worth while

Helen Mort, writer, poet, and runner, explores the history of running from prehistoric times to today, asking why we run and how it has shaped human culture. In her journey, she delves into the role running played in early human survival, its cultural representations like cave art, and insights from indigenous traditions. Helen also examines Ancient Greece, home to some of the first recorded running events, and retraces the story of Pheidippides, whose legendary run inspired the marathon.
