Hver dag går forfatter Anna Skyggebjerg en tur. 10.000 skridt, mindst. Ikke fordi hun ikke kan andet. Løbe, for eksempel. Men fordi det at gå tur er en aktivitet, der rækker langt ud over blot det at sætte den ene fod foran den anden.

In this hymn to walking, neuroscientist Shane O’Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits it confers on our bodies and minds. In Praise of Walking celebrates this miraculous ability.

After teenage rifts it was walking that brought us closer as father and son, and this ghost of Dad has been walking at my elbow since his death, as I have ruminated on his great love of walking, his prodigious need to do it - and how and why I walk myself.
