Runner's Code

Description

The Runner's Code explores the unwritten rules of everyday running and is essential reading for anyone who marvels at marathons, tears around the track or simply plods around the park. Filled with smart advice and brilliantly knowing humour, this unique celebration of running takes the newbie and veteran alike through the secret, nuanced and blindingly obvious rules of running to answer all the important questions, such as: What's the correct etiquette for acknowledging other runners? What should you do if you get 'caught short' on a run? And exactly how many times can you ask colleagues for marathon sponsorship? Written by journalist, author and self-confessed running nut Chas Newkey-Burden (The Guardian, Runner's World, Daily Telegraph), The Runner's Code will help us to all run better and more responsibly, while reminding us of the joy and, at times, the wonderful absurdity of running.
