pickThis book poses the question of whether or not we will ever see a marathon run in two hours or less. It was published in 2015. In 2019, Eliud Kipchoge became the first to do so with a time of 1:59:40. But even if this milestone has already been reached, this book is still interesting and worth reading.
With a name like Dick Pound, you would assume that he would be a porn star, not a lawyer.🤣
🤣 If I ever run a marathon, I'm going to do this.
It‘s 2 am and I am at 2 hours for the #24in48 #readathon. A good start but time for some sleep so awake enough tomorrow to continue. So far been reading The Pillars Of The Earth. Goodnight! 😴
pickThis book was captivating. There was a lot of really great running information and Geoffrey Mutai's story anchored the larger narrative. But, this book would have been better had a Kenyan would have written it. The book itself read at times like one long microaggression which is why I gave it three stars instead of five. I can't put my finger on it but there was a condescending tone and the narrative played toward Western biases.
