Description
Blending personal experience with wide-ranging natural history, this thought-provoking work explores endurance, aging, and the biological drive to keep moving. Drawing on the author’s experiences as a distance runner and his observations of animals, the book considers how bodies adapt, decline, and persist in the face of time. Accessible, curious, and grounded in science, it offers a distinctive meditation on longevity, competition, and what it means to race against the clock.
