This fascinating collection of weird and wonderful running stories spans from the earliest marathon to today’s high-tech approach. You’ll find bizarre stories like the Norwegian footballer forced to miss a World Cup qualifier after colliding with a moose, the American ultra-marathoner who had all his toenails removed, and why runners at the 2015 Tokyo marathon wore GPS-enabled, edible bananas with LEDs and Twitter updates. Packed with odd tales, this book is perfect for all running enthusiasts, from seasoned marathoners to park joggers and even those who only run baths.
