It’s hard to imagine a more compelling or poetic running companion than Vybarr Cregan-Reid. He inspires us not just to run, but to be truly alive while we are doing it.
Scarlett Thomas
Insightful and intoxicating. Vybarr Cregan-Reid's book makes you take your shoes off and run through a world of ideas about nature.
Lynne Truss
Here is a book in which the striding energy of the prose matches its subject.
Iain Sinclair
A brilliant, broad-ranging and beautiful book. Like a great run into a wild landscape, it opens the heart and the mind, taking you off into the unknown, delighting at every turn and returning you changed for the better.
Rob Cowen - author of Common Ground
Wonderfully authoritative vindication of what ought to be a self-evident truth: that running should be about being alive, not being a consumer.
Richard Askwith - author of Running Free: A Runner’s Journey Back to Nature
Delightful
The Times Literary Supplement
Few have done it so artfully and completely.
Oliver Balch, Literary Review
Footnotes is a blazing achievement.
Kate Norbury, Caught by the River
A wonderfully subtle and ambitious book
