so-so
A renowned classicist takes up running, turning to her Ancient Greek guides to learn about this simple, yet challenging, popular, yet often miserable sport. This reminded me of Murakami‘s memoir—which the author quotes and which I didn‘t enjoy; I‘d recommend for fans of it. I don‘t share either author‘s reasons for running—discipline, fear of death. I prefer books that emphasize running as fun and welcoming, like Slow AF Run Club or Born to Run.
