Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

John Connell’s narration is both intimate and invigorating; his voice carries the listener through each breathless step. The pacing is perfect, allowing for moments of reflection amidst the relentless forward motion. His detailed descriptions of the terrain make you feel like a runner yourself, eagerly taking on the next challenge. However, some sections can feel slightly repetitive, which might distract from the overall flow. Despite this minor flaw, ‘The Running Book’ remains an inspiring and enriching listen that any runner or nature lover will enjoy.
