Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Part travelogue, part training log and part memoir, this is a rich, revealing and satisfying book offering insight into the mind of this cult writer, and the satisfaction to be found in the discipline of distance running. 'A fitting and hugely enjoyable memoir for a writer concerned so much with the implausible tangents of everyday life...You don't have to run a marathon to be captivated' "Sunday Telegraph"

Publisher's description:

A memoir that covers Murakami's four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him.
