Hi

Can anyone recommended running related books - inspiring/funny/motivational?

I read a few chapters of 'Born to Run' by Christopher McDougall but it's not for me.

I've just bought one after a recommendation on here,

Running like a girl by Alexandra Heminsley. Not read it yet but looks interesting 😊

My favourite running book is The Runner's Body by Ross Tucker and Jonathan Dugas.

Not many laughs but if you want to know what is happening to your body when you run it is imformative without being too dry.

I like books with humour but will definitely have a look at this too. Would be interesting. Thanks
