About this listen

We've greatly enjoyed reading our Book of the Month for February, Out of Thin Air by Dr Michael Crawley.

Out of Thin Air is Michael's account of living for 15 months in Addis Ababa with a group of runners, whom he also joined on training runs through the streets, forests and hills of Ethiopia. 

In our interview with Michael we discuss perceptions of Ethiopian running,  the importance of running with others, and how Michael (a Newcastle fan) got caught in the cross fire between warring Ethiopian Man Utd and Man City fans...

Your hosts Niall and Katharine also discuss their winter running, Niall's lockdown funk slump, and why Katharine's new trail shoes are proving a winner for her icy runs.

We also pose the essential question - if a run isn't on Strava, has it really happened?

(Obviously, that's a silly question. Of course it hasn't!)

All this, and many more hodgepodge things, on your latest edition of the Common Ground Running Book Club podcast!
