The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner by Alan Sillitoe. The title story in this classic collection tells of Smith, a defiant young rebel, inhabiting the no-man's land of institutionalised Borstal. As his steady jog-trot rhythm transports him over an unrelenting, frost-bitten earth, he wonders why, for whom and for what he is running. Read by Malcolm Hamilton and Stephen Thorne.
