Abstract:

This is a review of the book “Correr” wrote by the oncologist Drauzio Varella (2015). Renowned author, researcher and presenter of television, the author focuses on his personal experiences on running, especially in training and marathon competitions. For the general public the work becomes relevant in that brief medical discourse – the body‘s biology and its moral decisions – combined with sports speech – resilience, willpower and self-fulfillment. Reflect on this text is to bring to light the physician‘s role in society which obtains a legitimacy bias from their athletic experiences successful.
