The Lost Art of Running invites you to journey with Shane Benzie, a renowned running technique analyst and movement expert. Traverse five continents with him as he trains with and studies the running styles of some of the world’s most accomplished athletes.
Esteemed by The Times as a guide to running like a professional, this book is a must-read for both novice and veteran runners. Adharanand Finn, the author of Running With the Kenyans, calls it ‘a fascinating book’. Elisabet Barnes, a coach and athlete, credits Shane’s insights for her second victory in the Marathon des Sables. Ultra marathon runner Damian Hall likens Shane to ‘the Indiana Jones of the running world’, and endurance runner Nicky Spinks affirms that ‘you can’t but help go out the door for your next run and try to put it all into practice’.
The Lost Art of Running is more than just a book; it’s an adventure that sweeps you off to the foothills of Ethiopia, known as the ‘town of runners’, and to the training grounds of world-record-holding marathon runners in Kenya. It takes you racing across the Arctic Circle and Europe’s mountains, through the Sahara’s searing sands, and on a winter traverse of the Pennine Way. Experience the incredible natural movement of runners in these challenging environments.
This part narrative, part practical guide will teach you how to incorporate natural movement techniques into your own running routine. Hear from some of the top athletes that Shane has coached over the years and learn from their experiences.
Whether you’re an experienced runner or just starting out, The Lost Art of Running is a groundbreaking book that will help you rediscover the art of running.
