Book review: des_linden's 'Choosing to Run' highlights marathoner's endurance
"Choosing To Run" by Des Linden Running a marathon is a remarkable achievement for any runner, no matter the skill level or pace. Preparing for running those 26.2 miles is absolute torture for anyone who tries it.
Des Linden captures that sentiment perfectly in her memoir,"Choosing To Run," as she chronicles the winding road that led to her winning the Boston Marathon in 2018 -- the first American woman to do so in 33 years. Linden starts her book describing an all-familiar place for anyone who's completed or attempted a marathon: the dreaded 22-mile mark when many runners hit the"wall" of the race, where their training is tested by the exhaustion of running that many miles.Her memoir alternates between vivid descriptions of running the famed point-to-point Boston Marathon route in 2018 and her upbringing as a runner.
For seasoned runners and beginners alike, Linden's book offers plenty of inspiration about the power of endurance in the face of obstacles. For all readers, it grants a peek at what goes into building that endurance.
