Understanding the mindset of someone who voluntarily runs regularly is what journalist and sports writer, Konrad Marshall, has explored in Run For Your Life, both by taking up running himself – committing to run every single day for a whole year, no excuses – and talking to and running with some of Australia’s most interesting runners – whether professional or casual runners – from Gout Gout to Grace Tame to Olympians and doctors. With his nose for a story, Konrad gathers the lessons learned as he runs with others on sporting fields, in marathons, on beaches and country trails, and discovers what tested their resolve, the relationships that developed, and the importance running is to their lives. He includes chapters with Grace Tame, Trent Dalton, Gout Gout, Jelena Dokic, Jessica Hull, Andy Griffiths, Emma Carney, Libby Birch, Jack Riewoldt, Peter Bol, Steve Moneghetti, Nedd Brockmann, Hugh Van Cuylenburg among others. Konrad shares the collective wisdom of the people who run, in a deeply reported first-person account of a year in constant motion.
