I never took a course in philosophy in college. What I know about it I've gotten indirectly through conversation, pop culture and literary reference. This book is a collection of essays in which an aspect of running is paired with a philosopher or a branch of philosophy. As a result you learn some new stuff and you can immediately see how it applies to everyday life. Apparently, there's a lot of books like this with philosophy paired with an array of modern topics. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/275198?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
