Fantastic

A phenomenal listen on one woman's journey into the culture and practices of running from various different countries. I didn't want this listen to end. Each chapter ends with a recipe from each country that the author picked up in her travels. Well worth the purchase.

Easy, good story to listen to for runners.

Easy, good story to listen to for runners; especially runners who like travel stories too. While not an encyclopedia of running cultures and philosophies, she does a really good job describing the running scenes of the places she visited. Interesting to hear about the different ways people take interest in the sport.

terrible narrator. dont waste your money!

like listening to someone read stereo instructions. monotone and bitchy sounding. i hated her voice

A nice diversion

if you love running, travel and food, this is a fun travelogue. narration is good except mispronounciation of Vigil's name

Even if you Don't Run...

This book is a combination running memoir, travelogue, and memoir of food. It uses running as a backdrop, but is both about athleticism and about people.
Becky Wade has a truly engaging writing style, and has a rare gift of not tooting her own horn. She's a terrific athlete by many standards, but she doesn't run your nose in just HOW fast she can go. As a beginning runner, this is encouraging; my inexpeerience isn't shoved in my face.
The narrator does a terrific job, though she's not very strong on accents so she doesn't try too hard. It's refreshing for a narrator to know her strengths and leave her weaknesses alone.
Pick up this book!
