Description
When Running Made History by Roger Robinson is a personal and insightful account of the sport's impact on recent history. From his experiences as a young spectator at the 1948 "Austerity Olympics" to his work in the Boston Marathon media centre after the 2013 bombings, Robinson offers a unique perspective on major events that shaped the world of running.
Through his own stories and reporting, Robinson chronicles significant moments in the history of running, including its emergence as a global phenomenon, the growth of women's participation, and the changing attitudes towards ageing in athletes. With an intimate understanding of the sport, he brings these events to life and reveals the powerful ways in which running has intersected with recent history.
