Echoes : Contemplations Of A Mature Runner by Michael Beisty (Hardcover)

I am retired from full-time employment in January 2020. Currently engaged in freelance writing as a pastime. Mature aged distance runner.

A collection of 30 articles/pieces. It provides a range of information that involves story-telling, factual research, reflection mixed with nostalgia, and the effect of aging on distance running performance. Its flavor is more about entertaining the reader, being topical, while attempting to deliver underlying messages and some limited social narrative. It's not meant to be a collection of scientific research essays. 

The collection is eclectic. Each piece is very different and tends to stand on its own.  While often centering on the master's experience, the articles have broader application to the general running population, men and women.
