This is Running

This is Running is a celebration of the world of running, exploring everything you''d want to know about the sport and the people behind it.

Running is cool again – for some it never stopped being cool. But with new running clubs starting up every week in major cities and the rise of ‘running influencers’ on social media, the sport is currently trending and bigger than it’s ever been before.

Running coach and journalist Raziq Rauf takes a deep dive into this boom, profiling everything from the most exciting races across the globe to favourite brands and tips from the professionals. Also included are Q&As with influential runners such as Matt Fitzgerald, as well as fascinating essays on subjects such as how much a pair of running shoes costs in Bangladesh and what this means for the emerging running scene, and how running has been an instrumental part of the creative process for artists and writers like Haruki Murakami.

Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour photography, This is Running is the perfect gift for the obsessive runner in your life, or for anyone who wants to know more about the sport and the culture that surrounds it.
