  • Summary

  • Episode One features an interview with John Connell, author of The Running Book - our book of the month for January 2021.

    The Running Book comprises 42,000 words across 42 chapters as John runs 42.2km around his native County Longford, in Ireland. 

    We discuss how the form of the book took shape, literary running inspirations, why movement is important for wellbeing, and the history of the highways and byways of John's home-place.

    Hosts Katharine and Niall also chat over their runs in 2021 so far, why Katharine is always on the lookout for a wildlife treat (don't worry, she doesn't mean roadkill), and Niall bores - sorry - regals in recollection of an epic sunny run where he fought the urge to beg for a drink...
