The Lost Art of Running by Shane Benzies. Written as both a story and with practical advice, Shane’s adventure takes you to the foothills of Ethiopia and the ‘town of runners’. To the training grounds of world record holding marathon runners in Kenya. Racing across the Arctic Circle and the mountains of Europe, through the sweltering sands of the Sahara and the hostility of a winter traverse of the Pennine Way.
Shane promotes natural movement techniques and how to use them in your own running. Whether experienced or just tackling your first few miles, this book will help you discover the lost art of running. This was a great read for me, taking scientifically proven data to know what good running form is and what you should look for. I still use techniques from the book over 18 months later, such as checking in on running form every 10 minutes, leaning forward and aiming for a tripod landing!
