This is an extraordinary account of an extraordinary individual - the author's beginnings in the outdoors are somewhat surprising for someone who was to become a record holder for many of the UK's ultra-running challenges.
The book covers the author's Coast to Coast record, Pennine Way record, representing GB in various 100km races, and perhaps his most astounding challenge of all a consecutive run over the Three Big Rounds, The Charlie Ramsay, Bob Graham & Paddy Buckley Rounds, which had never been done before. Surely the ultimate test.
The author has an absolute obsession with training and focus on achieving interim targets leading to the ultimate goal for the year. Having pushed to the limit of distance and speed to a point where at the finishing line of an event he had nothing left to give, within days he seemed to feel his physical body had cheated his mind, and that with more determination and more focus he could have gone even further and faster. As a result the next project was sought after and targeted.
For any budding, or even experienced, runners out there if you want a road map about how, with total dedication and focus, you can improve your fitness and achieve your targets this is definitely for you. Although it does also do a pretty good job in detailing the pain and suffering involved!
