The Sunday Read: …is back! Ultra trends, Paul Ryan and more.

The Sunday Read: That horse runs like an animal!
Forget Belmont. The real action took place this weekend in Wales with the annual running of the Man Versus Horse Marathon. It’s just one of the highlights of this week’s Sunday Read. Four legs good, two legs bad. At least … Continue reading
