The narrator Tom is a narcissistic young man wholly absorbed in over-analysing his own obsessions. When the novel opens he is hoping to get over his most recent failure with girls (Alex, in London) by improving his body-image (an obsession since adolescence), so he engages the services of an eccentric coach to help him improve his marathon performance. Coach Fitz is an expert in psycho-babble, and her unique take on running is that training should involve mindfulness about the running tracks. Readers familiar with the city of Sydney will enjoy the detailed (and quirky) descriptions of the various routes they tackle, starting at Centennial Park, moving on to Cooper Park in Bellevue Hill and Sir Joseph Banks Park and then to the beaches at Manly and Bondi and so on.
At Cooper Park, for example, which Tom had previously known only as an obscure lump of bush, Coach Fitz enlightens him…
Tom earnestly engages with all this self-help waffle until the coaching involves some sessions off-piste, as it were.
