Rough Magic: Riding the World's Loneliest Horse Race
Lara Prior-Palmer
I may have said it before but I’ve just finished Rough Magic by Lara Prior-Palmer and it’s a totally brilliant and original telling of a mad, epic horse race across Mongolia. Best book I’ve read in a while. Something to read while you laze in the sun perhaps. https://t.co/d9cOlMZtOQ

The Mountains Are Calling: Running in the High Places of Scotland
Jonny Muir
Third is The Mountains Are Calling by Jonny Muir, (with an average score of 7 out of 10), a lyric ode to (mostly Scottish) mountain running. Beautiful writing, if perhaps lacking narrative drive at times ... https://t.co/1kPxdPoHTw

As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning
Laurie Lee
Currently reading As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee. Boy, he can write. Every page is full of effortless, evocative prose. Take this scene… it's 1934, he's just arrived, on foot, in Valladolid, Spain, it's dusk and some kind of religious event is taking place… https://t.co/LJBNA2yACe

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
James Nestor
This is the story of how I re-started nasal breathing - while running and while sleeping - after reading Breath by James Nestor, but then had that all re-questioned after listening to Nick Tiller's fascinating interview on @jasonkoop's podcast: https://t.co/IkZiT8Itsu
