Story
Why does it make sense to Ethiopian runners to get up at three a.m. to run up and down a hill? Who would choose to train on almost impossibly steep and rocky terrain, in hyena territory? And how come Ethiopian men hold six of the top 10 fastest marathon times ever? Michael Crawley spent 15 months in Ethiopia training alongside (and sometimes a fair way behind) runners at all levels of the sport, from night watchmen hoping to change their lives to world-class marathon runners, in order to answer these questions.

In 80/20 Running, respected running and fitness expert Matt Fitzgerald introduced his revolutionary training program and explained why doing 80 percent of runs at a lower intensity and just 20 percent at a higher intensity is the best way for runners at all levels - as well as cyclists, triathletes, and even weight-loss seekers - to improve their performance. Now, in this eye-opening follow-up, Fitzgerald teams with Olympic coach Ben Rosario to expand and update the 80/20 program to include ultramarathon training and such popular developments as the use of power meters.

It may come as a surprise to many people, but Japan is the most running-obsessed country on Earth. A 135-mile relay race, or ekiden, is the country's biggest annual sporting event. Thousands of professional runners compete for corporate teams in some of the most competitive races in the world. The legendary "marathon monks" run a thousand marathons in a thousand days to reach spiritual enlightenment. Yet so much of Japan's running culture remains a mystery to the outside world, on par with many of the unique aspects of contemporary Japan.

He is approaching his mid-40s, so the time to do this is now. He at last has the financial means to do nothing but train.

Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Lost Art of Running by Shane Benzie with Tim Major, read by Clifford Samuel.
The Lost Art of Running is an opportunity to join running-technique-analyst coach and movement guru Shane Benzie on his journey across five continents as he trains with and analyses the running style of some of the most gifted athletes on the planet.
'Running technique has to be one of the most subjective issues out there: 10 minutes' investigation on the internet will generally confuse rather than confirm what you should or should not be doing. Mother Nature gave us some amazing gifts as runners - if we rediscover them and use them, we can transform our dynamic and everyday movement.' (Shane Benzie)
Part narrative, part practical, this adventure takes you to the foothills of Ethiopia and the ‘town of runners’; to the training grounds of world-record-holding marathon runners in Kenya; racing across the Arctic Circle and the mountains of Europe, through the sweltering sands of the Sahara and the hostility of a winter traverse of the Pennine Way, to witness the incredible natural movement of runners in these environments.
Along the way, you will learn how to incorporate natural movement techniques into your own running and hear from some of the top athletes Shane has coached over the years. Whether experienced or just tackling your first few miles, this ground-breaking book will help you discover the lost art of running.
Critic Reviews
"A fascinating book." (Adharanand Finn, the best-selling author of Running with the Kenyans, The Rise of the Ultra Runners and The Way of the Runner)
"Shane's approach to running movement really works. Shane helped me prepare for my fourth Marathon des Sables. I am convinced that the insight from these sessions was instrumental in me being able to run as well as I did and secure my second win in a highly competitive race." (Elisabeth Barnes, ultra endurance runner)
"Shane is the Indiana Jones of the running world." (Damian Hall, ultra marathon runner and journalist)

Well Worth it if you are a runner
He is long winded and redundant but his obsession with running form and the efficiencies that result from better form is compelling.

Good natural running intro
Narration is pleasant to listen to, but I wish he made it clear when he starts reading a quote because it can be confusing.
The material is strong, but the author often adds a lot of story such as how long and hard the journey to a remote part of Nepal was.
Good book for anyone wanting a primer on natural running form that is backed up by some science.

Story a bit over-dramatised for the content
A struggle through to get some already known info. Well read and don't want to be cruel as form is crucial but the story/journey was irritating with the info presented as a big epiphany when it's been said before elsewhere.
Some books focus on training volumes/zones, fuelling, etc. Others focus on mindset. Most have more real content than this book. This one is about form and emulating an elite endurance runner's technique. The story is a bit long winded and the actual practical content a bit thin, it could be summarised on an A4 page and have similar persuasiveness. I think Running rewired by Jay Dicharry is far more practically applicable and breaks down running well into clearly defined sections of form, posture, strength, plyo/springiness etc.
If you want to see good form explained there are many form analysis YouTube videos available nowadays.

Listen while running
Helped me improve my form. As Shane says, the first few runs feel harder as you are concentrating on posture, foot strike, cadence etc but once you get into a rhythm, it starts to feel more natural and less of an effort.
Try it.

A must read for runners
A great book that made me more aware of how running form affects performance.
On my first listen I have already seen benefit in making changes to how I run. I will build on this as I slowly adapt to using better form and techniques.
Even if some of the stories in first section are a little repetitive, they do help to set the scene and introduce how different runners have benefited from different aspects of what Shane discusses in this book.
I will be listening to this a few more times to ensure I take it all information on board.
Highly recommended
