Description:
The Looniness of the Long Distance Runner is one comparatively unfit 39-year old Londoner's humorous account of his attempt to run the New York City Marathon from scratch. Told in diary form with reports on how he has trained that day or what race he has run, the cumulative effect is both comical and inspiring. Along the way, Russell drinks and evaluates a variety of indescribably tasteless isotonic drinks, sweats out hundreds of T-shirts, incurs sports injuries, experiences his personal best, spends a lot of time anxiously lining up for communal bathroom facilities and eats an incredibly large quantity of bananas.
