This is Running is a celebration of the world of running, exploring everything you''d want to know about the sport and the people behind it.

Running is cool again – for some it never stopped being cool. But with new running clubs starting up every week in major cities and the rise of ‘running influencers’ on social media, the sport is currently trending and bigger than it’s ever been before.

Running coach and journalist Raziq Rauf takes a deep dive into this boom, profiling everything from the most exciting races across the globe to favourite brands and tips from the professionals. Also included are Q&As with influential runners such as Matt Fitzgerald, as well as fascinating essays on subjects such as how much a pair of running shoes costs in Bangladesh and what this means for the emerging running scene, and how running has been an instrumental part of the creative process for artists and writers like Haruki Murakami.

Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour photography, This is Running is the perfect gift for the obsessive runner in your life, or for anyone who wants to know more about the sport and the culture that surrounds it.

This is Running is a celebration of the world of running, exploring everything you'd want to know about the sport and the rich culture that surrounds it. Running is huge with an estimated 621 million runner worldwide but behind that statistic is a world that is as diverse as the people who engage in it. From the elite endurance of the Rarámuri tribe from Mexico who frequently run ultramarathons in nothing but simple sandals made from discarded car tires to some of the most famous races which are household names for runners and non-runners alike, coach and journalist Raziq Rauf gives a fascinating snapshot of this world. This is Running covers why, where and how we run incorporating insights from psychologists, sociologists and other experts from our first dash around a childhood playground to joining a run club or hitting high-altitude mountain trails whether that be for the health benefits, to make friends, test your own limits or to explore the world around you. A host of compelling essays explore topics such as running’s technological revolution, brands and streetwear, women’s experiences of running, the boom of trail running and the future of the sport. Also included is a selection of the world’s most notable runs including The London Marathon, the UTMB and the Barkley Marathons, and Q&As with individuals who are pioneering global running culture including influencer and comedian Laura Green, Nil Arend from The Speed Project, professional trail running athlete Dyan Bowman and Jessica Zapotechne from Girls Run NYC. Beautifully illustrated throughout with striking photography, This is Running is the perfect gift for the obsessive runner in your life, or for anyone who wants to know more about the sport and the culture that surrounds it.
