A clever pocket-sized dictionary that celebrates running with hilarious definitions and witty illustrations of terms that runners know and love.

Here is a clever, tongue-in-cheek "dictionary" that's perfect for any runner. The Running Dictionary is filled with hilarious definitions for hundreds of running terms, plus dozens of witty illustrations.

Terms range from race lingo, gear, and human anatomy to the insider jargon that all runners know and speak fluently, from "active recovery" to "zone running." With equal parts quirky humour and charming giftability, it's a delightful book for every running obsessive.
