He then goes on to examine running and its representations through the lens of the humanistic-geographical writer Yi-Fu Tuan. Bale describes the ways of running, for fun, freedom, fitness, achievement, slowness, records beyond quantification, and running ways, such as within the norms of achievement running, as means of dominance and affection (in Tuans terms) and as a means of gaining the spectators gaze. He describes formal and informal running arenas and the human landscapes they create, how athletes live as pets within and without bounds, and how running is both transgression and resistance while also an element in a conscious, good life within space and time." --Reference & Research Book News
