Marathon Reads

I've been reading about the history of the marathon in an entertaining book by John Bryant (the London Marathon: the History of the Greatest Race on Earth) and am feeling inspired. I would really recommend it as a fact-filled book that still manages to be fun and uplifting- perfect light reading for crawling into bed with knackered limbs after training.

I picked up this book as part of my research for a short guide to marathons I was working on for the website Bookshelf Boyfriend. The completed article can now be seen here: http://www.bookshelfboyfriend.com/articles.php?article_id=266
