The Long Run Audiobook (Free)

No one ever expected Catriona Menzies-Pike to run a marathon. She hated operating and was a hopeless athlete. But ten years after her parents passed away suddenly she began running, and discovered that her grief started to move as well. Until very recently it was frowned upon for girls to run long distances. Working was deemed unladylike – and most likely dangerous. How do this sport go from being suspect to wildly well-known? This fascinating publication combines memoir and cultural history to explore this rich and contradictory topic.
