I can't really wrap my head around running a marathon 6 days a week for years! It's an extremely impressive feat, especially when you factor in that she didn't get injured, didn't eat a special diet - and did all this during covid restrictions. I almost can't believe it!

Highly recommended for runners and all athletes, and for women and all those invested in the accomplishments and betterment of women around the world. Lootie is running partly to raise funds for Women for Women International, an organization helping women survivors of war, and she places great emphasis on women's rights and equality throughout the book.

Lootie's World Run is the perfect book for the runner in your life. Following Lootie as she runs across the world, you learn about her life and her journey. She also talks about the places she visits and has interesting cultural insight. Well-written about such an incredible journey, you'll find this book to be inspiring!

I can’t think of a word to describe this book. The real life account of a French woman running around the world.. an intriguing account of preparation and her adventures across different countries including the impact of COVID in 2020. Truely inspiring.. thank you to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

I really enjoyed this book — the pace is great and it’s a real page-turner. Lootie is so inspiring; she ran for 697 days across the world, averaging 40km a day. She navigated all sorts of terrain, as well as the challenges of the pandemic.

As I was reading, I found myself wondering why she wasn’t mentioning any injuries after all that running. But as I read on, it all became clear. Around 79% in, her running philosophy reminded me of a book I’ve read called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall — and lo and behold, she mentions it at 80%!

Lootie has such a positive mindset and prepared and trained appropriately. She experiences her runs through all five senses, and I loved how she talks about looking forward to the opportunities and surprises along the way to a new destination.

I also really enjoyed the historical and cultural insights, as well as the nature and background she weaves throughout the memoir. And the kindness of strangers really stood out.

I especially appreciated the section at the back of the book detailing the journey in numbers — a lovely touch. Amazing book and I fully recommend. I received a free advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and and this is my honest review.

What a book! It was so interesting reading solitude journey. Her incredible tale all around the world. The things she’s experienced and the things she’s seen. I couldn’t put this one down! So inspiring
