Review
In one section of this book Martin Bulger explores the different reasons why many people run. The answer us that there are many and varied reasons/ Indeed, a further question might be why so many of us continue to run even in circumstances when our brains tell us that we shouldn't. At least, after watching the 2 Olympic marathon races it is good to see that even Radcliffe and the Baldini chose to run their respective events shortly after sustaining serious injuries. We may be crazy but we are in good company. The main charm of Martin's book for me is that it contains accounts of many of the smaller marathons that so many of us in the hundred club have run so frequently. Whereas most books on running concentrate on the major marathons, Martin gives just as much prominence to the Neolithic, Three Forts, Beachy Head, Steyning Stinger and Isle of Wight marathons. It is about time that someone trumpeted the glories of the lesser-known events. It is evident as you turn the pages of this book that Martin loves running and is determined to communicate his enthusiasm to all who will listen. There are many books that tackle the subject of running in a very dry manner, but this book approaches the subject with humour and I found it an entertaining (and often thought provoking) read. The book is published by Olympia publishers (www.olympiapublisher.com) and is very reasonably priced at £7.99. If you are looking for a present for the runner in your life or just a good read then I recommend it. --Jack Brooks, 100 Marathon Club
