'The Sound of Running' is one of the inspirations for it, in terms of you looking at the bigger picture rather than just documenting your runs (nothing wrong with the latter, I will do a bit of that here, but there's a lot more stuff that rarely gets reflected in mainstream running press)Neil Gordon-Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639710629899221713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094355699006238795.post-49279209583038872842013-07-20T06:38:46.400+01:002013-07-20T06:38:46.400+01:00Only just discovered your blog because you followe...Only just discovered your blog because you followed me on twitter @runningryder. Absolutely loving in and particularly the posts on the history of running. There's also a great article I read a few years ago on the Victorian invention of the concept of "role models". The concept was first applied to sport and was often used to keep working class people down. I'll try and find it again because I think it might be just up your street.Marcus Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444584563093068500noreply@blogger.com
