Manage episode 507016597 series 3659911
Hello and welcome to Episode #80 of Everyday Runners podcast: I’m Andy Fuller, the host of this show and also a co-founder of Reading Sideways Press. This podcast explores the practices, methods and cultures of running by interviewing everyday runners, high performing athletes and researchers with a social science or humanities background.
This episode features an interview with independent researcher, Neil Baxter, whose work can be found here, Running Studies. In this episode we explore the origins of modern running, what running looked like in the distant (and near) past, how the marathon came to be and why doing long-distance running is often conflated with having a strong, moral character.
