I really really loved this book. I’ve read it before but don’t appear to have reviewed it anywhere. Fun to run into my pre existing highlights on the library kindle copy. When I first read this I wasn’t a runner, and now the elites this book focused on are retired. Something special about reading this on a flight to England though with so much about Paula Radcliffe.
I liked that it focused on the city and the non elite athletes and volunteers as much as telling the stories of how the elites came to be running this marathon Sunday.
