This book contains a wealth of information on the lost art of pedestrianism, as well as having sections on other athletic performances such as running and jumping. Primarily this book is a detailed catalogue of records of the best walking, running, and jumping performances in both an amateur and professional capacity. Also included herein is everything you might need to know about these sports, including training methodology, dietary suggestions, and the treatment of injuries and related ailments. This rare book contains timeless sporting information still valuable today, and constitutes a great addition to collections of antiquarian sporting literature. John Henry Walsh (1810 - 1888) was a prolific English writer of sports-news who often went by the pseudonym "Stonehenge". His notable works include "The Modern Sportsman's Gun and Rifle" (1882), "The Horse in the Stable and in the Field" (1861), and "The Shot-Gun and Sporting Rifle" (1859). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
