THE RUNNER NEXT DOOR is the amusing, enlightening account of one man’s transition from unhealthy couch potato to successful ultra-runner, all in the space of a year. When Barry moves in next door to Martin, the middle-aged running veteran is far from impressed by the morose, overweight southern bloke who looks so out of place in the affluent seaside town of St Anne’s. The somewhat snobbish narrator assumes Barry to be an incorrigible slob until his astute wife Caroline sees the newcomer marching towards the beach in his vintage tracksuit and trainers. From that moment on Martin is eager...

Why does it make sense to Ethiopian runners to get up at three a.m. to run up and down a hill? Who would choose to train on almost impossibly steep and rocky terrain, in hyena territory? And how come Ethiopian men hold six of the top 10 fastest marathon times ever? Michael Crawley spent 15 months in Ethiopia training alongside (and sometimes a fair way behind) runners at all levels of the sport, from night watchmen hoping to change their lives to world-class marathon runners, in order to answer these questions.

In this book, we approach the world of training from the perspective of Complex Systems, which will offer us a new vision of the world, health and organisms. In this book, you...
