Running is a fundamental human activity and holds an important
place in popular culture. In recent decades it has exploded in
popularity as a leisure pursuit, with marathons and endurance
challenges exerting a strong fascination. Endurance Running is the
first collection of original qualitative research to examine
distance running through a socio-cultural lens, with a general
objective of understanding the concept and meaning of endurance
historically and in contemporary times. Adopting diverse
theoretical and methodological approaches to explore topics such as
historical conceptualizations of endurance, lived experiences of
endurance running, and the meaning of endurance in individual
lives, the book reveals how the biological, historical,
psychological, and sociological converge to form contextually
specific ideas about endurance running and runners. Endurance
Running is an essential book for anybody researching across the
entire spectrum of endurance sports and fascinating reading for
anybody working in the sociology of sport or the body, cultural
studies or behavioural science.
