About the Book

Josh Lynott and his work stands in the liminal space of poetry and running, two forms of movement and expression that, within fragmented spectacles of contemporary life, seem to be in perpetual flux.

Perhaps appearing as an unlikely pairing, Lynott explores the intimate kinship between these two phenomena for his global community and audience. Here, his project mission is simple, though not without gravity: to make running real again, to peel away the layers of artifice and expose what lies beneath.

Born from a frustration with the shallow patterns of modern social trends, A Note to the Runners is a call to slow down in a world that perpetually emphasises the utility of speed. Lynott’s work here isn’t merely about running or writing—it’s about the space in between, where one finds the quiet rebellion of taking time.

A Note to the Runners reiterates an obvious truth: we are deprived of connection and the slow rituals that ground us. More simply, Josh urges us to spend more time sipping tea with friends, adding a touch of spiced hive honey, and at every opportunity, hold pen to paper. He reminds us that no fast sunglasses will make us run quicker, nor build the lasting relationships we truly need. The real challenge, he suggests, is in learning to slow down through understanding what is true to us — bypassing the seductions of the algorithm and seeking a deeper relationship with one's unique rhythm life. 
 

About the Author :
Josh Lynott is an Australian multi-disciplined creative. Based in Melbourne, his work explores the threshold between athletic & artistic worlds through modes of exploration such as, but not limited to, ultra-running, poetry, photography, and painting.

Amongst Lynott's work lies a sense of unsettling honesty, a poetic clarity that absorbs light, and, in doing so, reveals fundamental truths that are often overlooked. Imperatively, however, his work does not simply speak to runners or athletics; he reaches out to the restless, and to those who have sought solace in movement but perhaps not yet in words. His anthology doesn't simply just add to the existing dialogue. Rather, it seeks to carve out a new space altogether, crafting an intimately aesthetic space wherein running surpasses mere motion, and poetry mere words. It is an invitation, an opening, to edge closer to the inexpressible sensations that reside within us.
