Synopsis

What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?
In We Can't Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.
We can't run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.

    The journey through life came to a T-junction.
    This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. 
    
    Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results.
     
    The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who
    arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood,
    impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling.
     
    So begins the journey which is the: 
     
    Indian Itinerary of Endurance
    
      A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in Delhi
      First-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj Mahal
      Backtrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched hands
      Non-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bum
      Tunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievable
      Cross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decoupling
      Wrong side of the tracks in Madras
      Mind the gap year in Mahabalipuram
      Grave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of
    thought in Konark
      Striking differences in Calcutta
      Teased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan view
      Letting off steam walking into Nepal
      Curfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu
