An extremely inspiring book on many levels. I think this book is a must-read for any runner whether they are a man or a woman. Kathrine's passion for the sport will motivate anybody to put down the book and go for a run, and her descriptions of running in the 70s and 80s will make the same people grateful they are running now. Beyond running, Kathrine's own growth and struggles with her personal relationships and career also provide opportunity for learning.
