'Runner' by Lizzy Hawker

Épisode 13

mercredi 2 février 2022 • Durée 48:41

In this episode we review 'Runner' by Lizzy Hawker.

Bookhounds is taking a break, so this is the last podcast episode, at least for a while. To mark this occasion, Char invites a very special guest to join her in the virtual podcast studio.... her dad, David Binns. While reviewing the book they chat about David's table tennis career, Char's upcoming loop ultras and why Evertonians are better than Liverpool FC fans ;)

About the book:

This is the complete story of long-distance runner Lizzy Hawker's journey from a school girl running the streets of London to a world record-breaking athlete racing on mountains.

Lizzy's astonishing story uncovers the physical, mental and emotional challenges that runners go through at the edge of human endurance - inspiring us to get out of the chair and go running in the mountains.

About the book:

'Faster! Louder!' by Boff Whalley

How a punk rocker from Yorkshire became British Champion Fell Runner.

Our running book of the month for March 2021 is 'Running In The Midpack' by Anji Andrews and Martin Yelling.

Our Char and Jak invite runner and community builder Immy Kaur to discuss the book and talk all things training, nutrition and returning to parkrun.

About the book:

Running pushes us, stretches us, asks us difficult questions, challenges us. It gives us space, calms us down, picks us up, boosts our energy, rewards, inspires and fulfils us.

Midpack runners – those who fall between the beginners and the elite – are the heartbeat and footsteps of the running community. In this long-overdue book, Marathon Talk's Martin Yelling and Anji Andrews share their expert knowledge, first-person stories and coaching ideas to nourish the midpackers' running experience.

Covering such diverse topics as 'Making Yourself Bullet-proof' and 'How to Nail Your Race', Running in the Midpack will cultivate your running progress, and help you to become a healthy, happy and successful runner.

'Finding Gobi' by Dion Leonard

Épisode 1

samedi 20 février 2021 • Durée 49:22

Our running book of the month for February 2021 is 'Finding Gobi' by Dion Leonard.

Our Char and Jak invite Helen from Caincross UK to discuss the book and talk all things running with your dog.

About the book:

In 2016, Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultra marathon runner, unexpectedly stumbled across a little stray dog while competing in a gruelling 155 mile race across the Gobi Desert. The lovable pup, who earned the name `Gobi', proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the treacherous Tian Shan Mountains, managing to keep pace with him for nearly 80 miles.

As Dion witnessed the incredible determination of this small animal, he felt something change within himself. In the past he had always focused on winning and being the best, but his goal now was simply to make sure that his new friend was safe, nourished and hydrated.

Although Dion did not finish first, he felt he had won something far greater and promised to bring Gobi back to the UK for good to become a new addition to his family. This was the start of a journey neither of them would ever forget with a roller coaster ride of drama, grief, heartbreak, joy and love that changed their lives forever.

Finding Gobi is the ultimate story of hope, of resilience and of friendship, proving once again, that dogs really are `man's best friend.'

'The Running Book' by John Connell

Épisode 11

samedi 27 novembre 2021 • Durée 42:03

In this episode we review 'The Running Book' by John Connell.

Char is joined by Bookhounds Pack member Toby Fells to chat epic runs and colonial Ireland, to argue whether running is in the body or the mind and to plan an impromptu New Year's Eve adventure.

About the book:

In 'The Running Book' John Connell vividly describes a marathon through County Longford, Ireland, where he lives and farms. Because running is as much about the mind as the body, the book is about more than the physical experience. What John sees on his journey prompts him to contemplate a wide range of things: he’s as likely to think about local Irish history, the legacy of colonialism in Australia or the story of Haile Gebrselassie as he is to remember his own past runs in Arizona or Ibiza.

After a mental health crisis, John found the simple act of putting one foot in front of another helped him to regain his sense of self and better appreciate the world around him. At its core, The Running Book is a life-affirming read about the nature of happiness – and how for one man it came through the feet.

About the book:

'Spirit Run' by Noé Álvarez

lundi 27 septembre 2021 • Durée 01:02:56

In this episode we review the book 'Spirit Run' by Noé Álvarez.

Jak's back and together with Char, they welcome Deputy Dog Emma to the podcast for the very first time. As well as reviewing the book, they cover topics from land trauma and colonialism, to pizza burgers and question why they can't find a single book written by out LGBTQIA runners.

About the book:

'Spirit Run' by Noé Álvarez.

The son of working-class Mexican immigrants flees a life of labor in fruit-packing plants to run in a Native American marathon from Canada to Guatemala in this “stunning memoir that moves to the rhythm of feet, labor, and the many landscapes of the Americas” (Catriona Menzies-Pike, author of The Long Run).

Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez worked at an apple-packing plant alongside his mother, who “slouched over a conveyor belt of fruit, shoulder to shoulder with mothers conditioned to believe this was all they could do with their lives.” A university scholarship offered escape, but as a first-generation Latino college-goer, Álvarez struggled to fit in.

At nineteen, he learned about a Native American/First Nations movement called the Peace and Dignity Journeys, epic marathons meant to renew cultural connections across North America.

Running through mountains, deserts, and cities, and through the Mexican territory his parents left behind, Álvarez forges a new relationship with the land, and with the act of running, carrying with him the knowledge of his parents’ migration, and—against all odds in a society that exploits his body and rejects his spirit—the dream of a liberated future.

'Coasting' by Elise Downing

lundi 23 août 2021 • Durée 50:28

In this episode we review the book 'Coasting' by Elise Downing.

With Jak away, Char welcomes Bookhounds Pack Members Toby Fells and Tasha Thompson to the virtual podcast studio. As well as reviewing the book, their chat includes Toby (hypothetically) eating cavier and pooping his pants during an overly expensive ultra and the dilemma of whether to sleep in a wet tent or hangout with strangers every night (the tent won!).

About the book:

'Coasting' by Elise Downing

Running away from your problems doesn't solve anything - but sometimes it's more fun than dealing with them.

Elise was spending a lot of time crying on buses. She had just graduated from university; she had a shiny new flat, her first proper job and a budding relationship - and they were all making her utterly miserable. Sitting at work one day, she hit upon the obvious solution:

Run 5,000 miles around the coast of Britain, carrying her kit on her back.

Six months later Elise set off, with absolutely no ultra-running experience, unable to read a map and having never pitched a tent alone before. Over the 301 days that followed she developed a debilitating fear of farmyard animals, cried on a lot of beaches and saw Britain at its most wild and wonderful.

'This Journey We Call Running' by Brain James Siddons

Épisode 7

vendredi 23 juillet 2021 • Durée 49:39

In this episode we review the book 'This Journey We Call Running' by Brian James Siddons.

Jak and Char welcome Bookhounds Pack Member and Coach Toby Fells back to the virtual studio. They discuss the limitations of language and how we discuss running, asking, 'Is running a wordless activity?' and have a great chat about whether when they run they are in their bodies or in their heads. This is an excellent episode, if we do say so ourselves. Plus, Toby coins a new word!

About the book:

In “This Journey We Call Running - One Runner's Anthology”, author Brian James Siddons captures the essence of running through stories, poems and essays that range from the beauty of winter running to humbling setbacks to inspirational efforts, each of which finds a way to bring the physical efforts and emotional breakthroughs of runners to life.

Spread throughout the anthology is a collection of poems that will provide the reader with a chance to enjoy Siddons' interpretation of a runner’s thoughts and emotions of key training and racing experiences. The author’s prose, nurtured by 45 years of running, captures numerous topics near and dear to a runner’s heart and soul, providing timeless insights to be enjoyed over and over again.

Runners of all abilities will be able to relate to the authors writing, a homage to the running lifestyle that has transformed the authors life and the life of runners around the world.
