RE:
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and certainly not disappointed. Askwith acknowledges the restrictions faced by most, readily confesses to trying many of the gadgets during his running life, and to being a stat junkie. This is not a tirade against runners like us, more a reminder of what running is, and should be, about.
So much of what he talks about dips in and out of conversations we've had on here. Anyway, hurry up and read the damned thing so we can get into the meat of it, else I'll end up quoting so much in here I'll be had up for copyright infringement. I've had to stop reading anyway as I want to wallow in the book all this week in my Bond Villain island retreat* off the coast of West Africa**.
You don't have to have read FITC in order to enjoy this. It is referenced, but only to explain his brevity in describing fell running/ races.
