Has anyone read...

I've read the book, too, and I did greatly enjoy it. There were some classic one-liners in there, and it was good fun all the way through, poking fun at this crazy pursuit we follow.

But I'd agree that insights were few and far between. Amongst the laughs, I didn't see too many people meeting their younger, less fit and more haunted selves outside a hotel in Huddersfield. That's real thoughtful writing. Marvellous stuff, Andy.

If you could just persuade Gwyneth Paltrow to take up running in your place, you could even have the basis of a decent film script there..... a kind of West Riding 'Sliding Doors' ?
