Currently reading Frank Shorter's My Marathon:Reflections on a Gold Medal Life. He had a hard time as a youngster growing up from his father, good reading so far.

Mud, Sweat and Tears by Moire O'Sullivan, first person to complete the Wicklow Round, is always worth a read.

Not by a runner but the andre agassi biography is the best sports book I've read.

Am actually really enjoying 'Run like a Girl', by a 30 something girl who took up running , it's very good and a lot more serious, more informative than the title suggests
