A wonderfully subtle and ambitious book
*Guardian*
Insightful and intoxicating. Vybarr Cregan-Reid's book makes you
take your shoes off and run through a world of ideas about
nature.
*Lynne Truss*
Delightful
*The Times Literary Supplement*
Footnotes is a blazing achievement.
*Caught by the River*
Few have done it so artfully and completely.
*Literary Review*
Here is a book in which the striding energy of the prose matches
its subject.
*Iain Sinclair*
Wonderfully authoritative vindication of what ought to be a
self-evident truth: that running should be about being alive, not
being a consumer.
*Richard Askwith - author of Running Free: A Runner’s Journey Back
to Nature*
It’s hard to imagine a more compelling or poetic running companion
than Vybarr Cregan-Reid. He inspires us not just to run, but to be
truly alive while we are doing it.
*Scarlett Thomas*
A brilliant, broad-ranging and beautiful book. Like a great run
into a wild landscape, it opens the heart and the mind, taking you
off into the unknown, delighting at every turn and returning you
changed for the better.
*Rob Cowen - author of Common Ground*
