Running`s Strangest Tales: Extraordinary but True Tales from Over Five Centuries of Running

Running`s Strangest Tales is a fascinating collection of weird and wonderful stories from the world of running, from the earliest marathon to today`s high-tech, apped-up approach. Within these pages you`ll find the bizarre story of the Norwegian footballer forced to miss a crucial World Cup qualifier after colliding with a moose on his morning jog, the American ultra-marathoner who had all his toenails removed to improve his running, and why some runners at the 2015 Tokyo marathon were wearing GPS-enabled, edible bananas, complete with LEDs and incoming Twitter updates. Packed with tales that are so odd you`ll hardly believe them, this book makes the perfect gift for all running enthusiasts, from the seasoned marathoner to the park jogger, and those who only ever run a bath. Word count: 45,000
