Excellent book this. As someone who only does the occasional park run I am no avid runner. But this book offers more than just that for running enthusiasts. The stories of the effort and struggle people put in to do some of these races can be real life lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great book

Great listen. Took a little while to get to grips with Vassos' reading style but once settled thoroughly enjoyed all the stories. Humorous, self deprecating and totally inspiring. Felt like pulling on my trainers after every listen.
