À propos de cet audio

Peter Sagal, the host of NPR’s Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me! and a popular columnist for Runner’s World, shares lessons, stories, advice, and warnings gleaned from running the equivalent of once around the Earth.

At the verge of turning 40, Peter Sagal - brainiac Harvard grad, short, bald Jew with a disposition toward heft, and a sedentary star of public radio - started running seriously. And much to his own surprise, he kept going, faster and further, running 14 marathons and logging tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the US and the world, including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings.

In this new audiobook, Sagal reflects on the trails, tracks, and routes he’s traveled, from the humorous absurdity of running charity races in his underwear - in St. Louis, in February - or attempting to “quiet his colon” on runs around his neighborhood - to the experience of running as a guide to visually impaired runners and the triumphant post-bombing running of the Boston Marathon in 2014. With humor and humanity, Sagal also writes about the emotional experience of running, body image, the similarities between endurance sports and sadomasochism, the legacy of running as passed down from parent to child, and the odd but extraordinary bonds created between strangers and friends. The result is a funny, wise, and powerful meditation about running and life that will appeal to listeners everywhere.

As a fairly new runner, listening to this audio book got me through some rainy, cold and unpleasant runs giggling to myself on empty pathways. While parts of the book are humorous, others are very real and somber, with the mix being pretty true to the course for what running itself is like. Peter Sagal's narration was, ofcourse, impeccable and witty, and made for the kind of audio experience that you don't want to ever stop listening to. All in all, I can honestly say that reaching the end of this book was bittersweet, as I would have loved to keep listening to Sagal's journey.

Heartfelt, honest, and very much needed

Hooked from start to finish, this was the first "running book" I found interesting enough to actually run to. The author's narration is some of the best I've heard and the story is never dull. Uplifting, laugh out loud funny, and at times dark; this book has all the elements.

Goes down like a brisk 5k
