Sabrina B Little Livres

Focusing on the developmental aspects of virtue education, this work critiques the existing literature for its fragmented approach, which overlooks the importance of a learner's maturity and experiences. It emphasizes the need for a coherent strategy that evolves with the learner, fostering moral agency through age-appropriate methods. The proposed framework aims to guide learners from natural character to moral virtue by utilizing aretaic exemplars, encouraging rational participation in their moral development and habituation.

Philosopher and prominent ultra-marathoner Sabrina Little here offers a novel view of what it means to run well, and how cultivating key personal virtues can make us strong, faster, and happier runners. Combining her extensive personal experience as a runner and coach, with her deep knowledge of virtue ethics, The Examined Run accessibly shows how virtues like perseverance, emotional control, and compassion can be just as important in training and competition as any other regime, and should appeal to any intellectually curious runner or athlete.
