COT: Lessons from the highlighted passages of my dad’s 1978 edition of The Runner’s Handbook: “Running is addictive… It changes your whole lifestyle… You quit smoking in order to run long distances. Your consumption of alcohol drops for the same reason. Eating habits change because good nutrition is an integral part of aerobic exercise. Your total wellbeing improves.”
