«The Looniness of the Long Distance Runner» is Russell Taylor's sports humour book, published by Andre Deutsch Ltd in paperback (224 pages).
A 39-year-old Londoner in poor shape decides to train from scratch and run the New York City Marathon. With self-deprecating humour, the author recounts his preparation, from the gym treadmill to Manhattan, and pokes fun at other runners, commentators and spectators. He wrote the book to avoid asking for donations and gave the proceeds to charity.
The cover subtitle is «An Unfit Londoner's Attempt to Run the New York City Marathon from Scratch»; the text is in English.
Suitable for amateur runners and readers who enjoy self-deprecating humour applied to the effort of preparing for a marathon.
