Description
Running is more than just a sport - it reconnects us to our bodies and the world around us. By putting one foot in front of the other, we can break free from the demands of modern life and feel the earth beneath us. Vybarr Cregan-Reid's journey to understand why running has such a profound impact on so many people took him to some unexpected places. From the streets of London to the forests of California, Cregan-Reid explores the science behind our desire to run, using insights from literature, philosophy, and biology. Along the way, he reveals how running can be both liberating and healing, a necessary part of our lives that helps us feel more connected to ourselves and the world. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of why we run, and what it means for our well-being. With its unique blend of science, philosophy, and personal story, Footnotes offers a fresh perspective on this universal human experience.
