To most of the world, Nicholas Thompson is known as an editor, an AI enthusiast, or something of a LinkedIn influencer. On Tuesday, Thompson is releasing The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports. Ultimately, though, the book examines the complicated relationship between the sport, Thompson, and his father, who first took him on a run when he was just 5 years old. Tech obsessives, of course, will also get their fix: The Running Ground includes plenty of science-backed training guidance and documents Thompson’s experience training with elite Nike coaches. In honor of your new book, The Running Ground, I'm gonna make them entirely running themed.
