Funny, inspiring, honest--the perfect listen for anyone with well-worn
trainers by the door (or who's thinking of buying a pair...).
Vassos Alexander shares the highs and lows of falling in love with
running, from his first paltry efforts to reach the end of his street to
completing ultra-marathons and triathlons in the same weekend. This is a
celebration of running--and what lots of us think about when we run.
Part escape, part self-discovery, part therapy, part weight loss. Part
simple childlike joy of running when you could be walking. Each of the
26.2 chapters also features a fascinating insight into how others first
started--from Paula Radcliffe to Steve Cram, the Brownlees to Jenson
Button, Nicky Campbell to Nell McAndrew.
