Zwei Leidenschaften bestimmen Haruki Murakamis Leben: Schreiben und Laufen. Eines verbindet beide Tätigkeiten – ihre Intensität. Für Haruki Murakami bedeutet das Laufen ein zweites Leben, in dem er sich Kraft, Inspiration, vor allem aber die Zähigkeit zum Schreiben holt. Der Einfall und Entschluss, Romanautor zu werden, kam ihm beim Sport. Das Sitzen am Schreibtisch gleicht er mit dem Laufen aus. Nach langsamen ersten Schritten hat er sich in den vergangenen dreißig Jahren professionalisiert: Längst sind zu den jährlichen Marathons auch Triathlonwettbewerbe und Ultralangläufe von 100 Kilometern hinzugekommen.Haruki Murakami erzählt eindringlich und komisch von seinen Frustrationen und vom Kampf gegen das stets lauernde Versagen und wie er es überwindet. Denn für ihn bleibt das Laufen ein großes, wortloses Glück. Für seinen Grabstein wünscht er sich die Inschrift: „Haruki Murakami 1949-20**, Schriftsteller (und Läufer) – Wenigstens ist er nie gegangen".

That said, even though Murakami and distance running are two...

4.5 Murakami on running
I don`t know how and why, but I hadn`t read anything from Murakami before. So it would be normal to start with his famous stories or even 1Q84. But I started with his memories and musings about running. The reason behind this strange choice is that I have started to run myself so I was highly intere...

This is, I think, the second book I've read about distance running. I am wondering what my fascination with that is, although truly, I've read both because they came up on various lists. I, myself, am a walker. I love to go for long walks in the morning. Running does not as much appeal. But then you...

I guess what everybody has been saying this book is true: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running really makes you want to take up running. I was skeptical at first when my friend said so. I was even more skeptical when I read some of the reviews on Goodreads. But yes, you really do want to star...

This work struck a chord with me. While Murakami primarily wrote about his experiences running and training for various events, it really served as a vehicle for expressing his thought process and life lessons he had learned through the process. Self-deprecating as ever, I found it refreshingly ho...
