In The Lost Art of Running, authors Shane Benzie and Tim Major embark on an enlightening journey that transcends the mere mechanics of running, following Shane Benzie across five continents as he trains with and analyses some of the world's most gifted runners. This engaging exploration merges the realms of sport science and travel writing, inviting readers to rediscover the joys of running as not just a physical activity, but as a holistic experience that connects us to the world around us.
