  Are You a Running W*nker?: The...

  Essential listening for every runner – it's time to find out, could you too be a Running W*nker? 
  Alison Stankard is a Running W*nker. 
  But it didn’t happen overnight. A few morning stumbles around the block in a bid to become pert-bottomed somehow turned into something else: 5ks, 10ks, marathons and even ultra marathons. Then one day, whilst looking at her at her lack of toenails, embarrassingly large collection of training shoes and collection of buffs, it dawned on her: she had become a Running W*nker. 
  Some people can go out for an occasional run and not obsess over every little detail. They might not think to take a photo of their hill sprints to post on social media or be able to recite their splits from the race that got them a PB to anybody who ’ ll listen. All impossible if you’re a true Running W*nker. 
  There are a lot of books about running. Serious books with marathon plans, advice on nutrition and injury prevention. This book isn’t that. It’s a sweary, honest celebration of all the things that Running W*nkers new and old get up to: shitting in bushes, going down the stairs on your arse because your legs won’t bend the day after a marathon, lying about how much trainers cost and plotting how to rig the London Marathon ballot. 
  The question is: are you a Running W*nker too? 
  For runners who pretend it’s all about health and fitness, this non-fiction humour story nails the topic with the best, most top-tier stories of sports-and-exercise madness. From jogging “for recreation” to living for the latest running obsession, it’s a brutally honest celebration of what you do when you’re definitely a Running W*nker.

  Let Me Tell You a Story - A...

  "Did I ever tell you about Wilt Chamberlain?" "Did I ever tell you about Bob Cousy?" "Did I ever tell you about Joe DiMaggio?" Whenever Arnold "Red" Auerbach starts a sentence with those six words—"Did I ever tell you about ... "—anyone within earshot should prepare to hear a marvelous story.  As a living legend among sports fans, Red Auerbach—the fiery coach who led the Boston Celtics to nine NBA championships, eight of them consecutive—has long been renowned for his formidable personality: brash, opinionated, and unfailingly accurate. As a coach, he had a great eye for talent, drafting such Hall of Famers as Bill Russell and Larry Bird, and managed to build a powerful franchise with an abiding legacy. Red never stood still along the sidelines and was never seen without his trademark cigar.  Now in retirement, at age eighty-seven, he remains a lively part of the game, still consulted by coaches, players, and general managers. And his admirers continue to be legion. Not long ago a former president postponed a meeting with Bill Gates so as not to pass up the chance to talk with Red. For the past several years, John Feinstein has met regularly with Red Auerbach and his friends in a series of raucous, unforgettable sessions.  Out of those smoke-and-laughter-filled rooms have emerged the stories of Red's life, from his childhood on the playgrounds of Brooklyn to his triumphs at the famed Boston Garden, where he coached for sixteen years. Just listen as Red colorfully recalls all the players and coaches he has worked with and played against: Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Bob Cousy, Wilt Chamberlain, Sam Jones, and Michael Jordan—you name them, the basketball greats are all here. Red holds nothing back.  In Let Me Tell You a Story, Red Auerbach's unique experiences in sports and John Feinstein's unparalleled skills as a storyteller combine to produce one of the most richly entertaining books ever written about the game of basketball.
