“Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets.” I’m no runner, but I really enjoyed reading it. p.s. I think the genre you’re looking for is narrative nonfiction

If you’re a masochist / into punishing yourself & your body, running is for you.

I’m not really a fan rn because marathon training has been hell but it’s a good time to ponder and reflect on anything (triathlons dont let you wear headphones so i go no music sometimes). Definitely try going on scenic routes and change it up every now and then, treadmills feel better for your legs but it’s such a boring run not having anything to look at. Tbh running isnt for everyone either, I have way more fun and look forward to a good swim or bike ride, and thats ok! Shoutout to everyone who enjoys running though, i wish i was you!

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
