Put on your shoes and go: There are good reasons why running has become the number one popular sport. Whether in the woods, in the park, on the street, before or after work, in summer, in winter, and of course during competitions - you can run anywhere and anytime. It is versatile and easy and affordable for everyone. But there is more to it: it trains our character and ultimately grants us greater freedom, broadens our horizons, and teaches us a lot about ourselves and the world around us. This is what international authors from various disciplines - philosophers, journalists, athletes, writers - knowledgeably discuss in "The Philosophy of Running." They explain why friendships among runners are also important for other areas of life, share experiences about running with apps, and discuss the difference between running on a treadmill and outdoors.
