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.

I haven’t finished reading this yet but I also got it on audible for my daughter to listen to. A month ago she could barely run a half mile. Tonight she ran a little more than 10K in a little over an hour. She has only ran 3 or 4 times. Each time she far exceeds the first time. She is SO excited at how easy it has been. She said that her lungs used to give out before her body. But now she comes in hardly breathing hard at all. She said that she had NO idea she had the capability to run like this. My younger daughter is in an extreme fitness program in an international search and rescue program. She’s been working out with a trainer for months. The daughter who has listened to the book has passed her up in running with very little effort. She’s glowing.

O livro é simples, e fala muita coisa que já vemos em outros livros, como cadência e inclinar o corpo pra frente. O foco do livro é desmistificar o deslocamento vertical na corrida, e provar os pontos através de viagens que o autor fez pelo mundo. Uma leitura legal, e posso dizer que influenciou minha maneira de correr.

I have been struggling with injury and want to get back my love for running. The logical approach, the simplicity of how to run with elasticity and the way Shane makes the story engaging gives me great hope this will work for me.The book is light on for images in describing something that is very much look and feel – e.g. I had to google a tensegrity model and wasnt sure if I had the right one to understand what was described, but regardless this is a great book to help you think about your form, with a data driven approach that resonates with me.
