Heritage Best Books of 2021: Sport - Waterstones selection The
Runner's Code explores the unwritten rules of everyday running and
is essential reading for anyone who marvels at marathons, tears
round the track or simply plods round 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? The book is packed with plenty
of need-to-know information to help you deliver your best running
performance, such as coping with different weather conditions,
advice on kit and clothing (how many miles can a pair of trainers
last, and is it ever appropriate to run in a mankini?) and pavement
etiquette (overtaking dawdling pedestrians on a busy street). There
are also sections on getting the best race-day nutrition, finding
the perfect running headspace and gaining maximum joy from your
running. The Runner's Code features exclusive contributions from
BBC presenters Nicky Campbell and Louise Minchin, sports writer
Henry Winter, and leading running authors Anna McNuff, Paul
Tonkinson, Rachel Cullen, Martin Yelling, Liz Yelling, Helen
Croydon and Michael Stocks. They each brilliantly reveal what they
love and what they hate about running. Written by journalist,
author and self-confessed running nut Chas Newkey-Burden, 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.
