'What I Talk About When I Talk About Running’
Haruki Murakami

As someone in my mid-fifties who has run marathons and contributed chapters to books, I found plenty to connect with in Haruki Murakami’s ‘What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.’

Philosophies on running seamlessly become philosophies on living. These connections never feel forced; they emerge naturally from his reflections on running and writing. A thoughtful, quietly engaging book that spoke to my own experiences and left me reflecting as much on how I live as on how I run.
