  1. 1. The Running Ground

    Nicholas Thompson traces how running has shaped his life—from a childhood mile shared with his father, through a medical scare and the grief after his father’s death, to an intense period of later-life training for the Chicago Marathon. Over seven years he transforms his body and outlook, using the discipline of distance running to explore ambition, aging, family relationships, and resilience.
