Publisher Description
Boff Whalley just likes running - the places it takes him, the moments of exhilaration and snapshots of natural beauty that he adds to his mental album. This is not a man who signs up to big city marathons and pounds the pavements. With his down to earth voice and a great sense of humour, Boff writes about how running brings a real world of discovery and adventure, from reaching the top of a mountain with the sun at your back and moon in front creating two shadows to running up Mt Fuji on a break from work. For Boff, running is about freedom, experiencing of the world, your place in it and generally just enjoying yourself. Running is a way to get back to that simplest of relationships - the one between our feet and the earth.

Run wild
I purchased this book and started reading it a few weeks after completing my first marathon run in my home city Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst I'm not planning on taking my future running entirely off road just yet, the book has certainly got me thinking and running in a different direction. Variety in life is what everyone needs, and I guess we just need to pick and choose how to get it. Marathon running is not for everyone, nor is running wild. I wonder if Boff has ever ran wild in Australia, with the extreme heat and deadly snakes to contend with certainly adding a new sense of danger. All in all, Run Wild was a thought provoking read, even if it is a bit of a ramble. It has inspired to go off road when I can when running.
