Here’s the Amazon description:
“Set against a grueling 50K trail race in West Virginia, this candid personal essay explores what it means to push a body that has endured years of personal judgment, punishment, and neglect. Moving between the trail and memories of adolescence, military service, disordered eating, and love, Matt examines how running became both an escape and a path toward healing. Honest, darkly funny, and ultimately hopeful, Binge is a story about endurance, vulnerability, masculinity, and learning to see the body as more than something to control.”
