I know very little about running, but this book was fascinating. It's been a while since I read it, but thanks to this book, I now get a flash of recognition at the names of certain runners (from New Zealand and beyond). The photos are great too. I imagine that if you are passionate about this sport, it would be even more interesting, but I found it accessible too.

A great book for those interested in NZ sport and particularly Athletics. A great insight into what life was like in the 70s for top Athletes on the European circuit.
