About this listen
No one ever expected Catriona Menzies-Pike to run a marathon. She hated running and was a hopeless athlete. But a decade after her parents died suddenly, she started running and found that her grief started to move, too.
Until very recently it was frowned upon for women to run long distances. Running was deemed unladylike - and probably dangerous. How did this sport go from being suspect to wildly popular? This fascinating book combines memoir and cultural history to explore this rich and contradictory topic.

A really great book
I was recommended this book during my mothers palliative time. I’ve been a runner for many years and yet the insight stories and information in this book well for new to me yet also very familiar. 100% recommend this book and extra bonus points because it’s an Australian writer who references parts of Sydney and Australia that I know and run around.
