This book describes and analyzes the levels of experience that
long-distance running produces. It looks at the kinds of
experiences caused by long-distance running, the dimensions
contained in these experiences, and their effects on the subjective
life-world and well-being of an individual. Taking a philosophical
approach, the analysis presented in this book is founded on Maurice
Merleau-Pontys phenomenology of the body and Martin Heideggers
fundamental ontology. Running is a versatile form of physical
exercise which does not reveal all of its dimensions at once. These
dimensions escape the eye and are not revealed to the runner
conceptually, but rather as sensations and emotions. Instead of
concentrating on conceptual analysis, this book explores the
emotions and experiences and examines the meaning that running has
in runners lives. Using the participative method, in which the
author is both the research subject and the researcher, the book
contributes to the philosophy of physical exercise.
