OverviewEin Marathonläufer von Weltklasse, der an allen sechs Abbott World Marathon Majors teilgenommen hat! Das Buch basiert auf den Erfahrungen von Charles Moore, der zwischen 2016 und 2023 mehr als 20 Marathonläufe absolviert hat. Es ist sowohl ein Bericht über seinen Weg zum Ultramarathonläufer als auch eine ehrliche und sehr persönliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, wie Rasse und Kultur zusammenhängen. Anhand von internationalen Läufen in Großstädten in Asien, Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten, einschließlich seiner Heimatstadt Detroit, untersucht der Autor den Mangel an Vielfalt im Marathonlauf. Dabei lässt er die Leserinnen und Leser an seiner intensiven Reise teilhaben, auf der er in nur wenigen Jahren mehr als 20 Marathonläufe absolvierte, darunter die prestigeträchtigen Abbott World Marathon Majors - sechs Marathonläufe in Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, New York und Tokio. Er blickt hinter die Kulissen des Trainings für jedes Rennen und eröffnet uns in seinen unvergesslichen Memoiren über den Langstreckenlauf eine ganz neue Dimension. Mit dem Venn-Diagramm von Schwarzsein und Langstreckenlauf hat sich Moore als einer der wenigen auseinandergesetzt. So ist ""LAUFEN IM EINKLANG: EINE HOMMAGE AN DIE LAUFKULTUR"" ein unverzichtbares Zeugnis für die Ausdauer und die Kraft der schwarzen Marathonläufer und für die Art und Weise, wie ein Mann sein Leben und den Laufsport verändert hat, indem er immer wieder auf die Beine kam und auf höchstem Niveau antrat.
