Summary:
"
Running
saved Alison Désir's life. At rock bottom and searching for meaning and structure, Désir started marathon training,
finding
that it vastly improved both her physical and mental health. Yet as she became involved in the community and learned its history, she realized that the
sport
was largely
built
with white people in mind. '
Running
While
Black
' draws on Désir's experience as an endurance athlete, activist, and mental health advocate to explore why the seemingly simple, human act of long distance
running
for exercise and health has never been truly open to
Black
people. Weaving historical context from the first recreational
running
boom to the horrific murder of Ahmaud Arbery, together with her own story of growth in the
sport
, Désir unpacks how we got here and advocates for a world where everyone is free to safely experience the life-changing power of movement..."--From publisher.
