After racing through Born to Run practically feeling the wind in my hair, Murakami’s meandering ruminations on his running practice, writing practice, health, and his own personality didn’t do too much for me. His fatphobia was painful to read as well. If you’re a writer and an established long distance runner or just a serious Murakami fan who’s already read everything else he’s written, this book would be for you.

I enjoyed the discussion of the experience of running long distances and fitting it into his busy life. I feel it is universally applicable to many challenges but particularly for the physical. As a fan of his other works it was interesting to learn more about his life and his affinity for long distance running. The fact he had ups and downs in his love for running helped me get out of a similar exercise slump.
