About this listen

If you had told Helen two years ago that she would be getting up at six a.m. on Sundays to swim in a freezing reservoir and spending her Saturday nights unshowered and covered in mud in a pub, she would have spat out her champagne. But when everyone around you starts settling down, what else is a glamorous party girl to do but to launch herself into the world of endurance sport?

For someone who didn't even own a pair of flat shoes (and definitely no waterproofs), Helen would soon find she had a lot to learn.

Join Helen on her hilarious and soul-searching journey as she swaps a life of cocktail bars and dating for the challenges and exhilaration of triathlons, trail runs, obstacle races, long-distance cycles and ocean swims...and sets herself the seemingly impossible goal of qualifying as a Team GB triathlete.

Wow, Helen is such a focused person and listening to her book has got me rethinking my own goals and approach to life.
The book is addictive listening because she compels herself to keep training for the disciplines needed to compete in the gruelling world of triathlons. All this is done without any ego, just the desire to improve herself and live life another way.

Inspirational, listened in 48 hours.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, I do not normally like to listen to books read by the authors.
But it is an enjoyable listen, a story of a search for happiness and fulfilment told honestly and with frank openness.

As an ex club runner weekend biker and life long fitness nerd I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found myself finishing her sentences, understanding the insider talk, getting the drive Helen was portraying and telling her off for going too far and marvelling at the scrapes she got herself out of. A thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying book for any runner/triathlete/biker.

Satisfyingly enjoyable.

As a novice runner and cyclist, I really enjoyed this on audible. I listened to it non stop which I have rarely done. Lots that I can relate too, and some lessons to take away, an inspiring, informative and honest account of finding new dimensions in life. Thank you!

Engaging read for anyone who dabbles or is starting out in running/ triathlon
