What running book has inspired you the most?
It's a question I would have difficulty answering. My answers would be somewhere on this list.
I ber if you asked people then this book will appear at the top of many lists, and for good reason.
I read this a few years ago and fell in love with the Lake District and returned there many times. I actually met Richard at an Endurance Life talk about his experiences of the Bob Graham Round. Oddly enough just after he finished talking a couple of friends of mine were just finishing their own Bob Graham Round, inspired by the book he was just talking about.
I have read this book and loved it and am definitely going to retrace his steps one day and attempt the BGR. Many others have done so.
Anyhoo, I write this post to draw your attention to the fact that this book is being re-released after 10 years. Not very old and not many books can claim to have got so many people into ultra running. I have been sent three copies by the publishers to give away in a competition.
To be in with a chance just answer the following questions in this survey. I will write a summary of the results later.
Entries in by May 12th and you must be UK based. I will pick the completed answers at random. You have more chance of winning this book that you do of finishing this race.
Good Luck :)
I can't remember reading a better researched and more passionate book. Richard unveils the heroes of yesteryear, quiet, strong, unassuming men who just got on with life.
Hard to put this book down, let alone walk away without thoughts of your own BGR attempt.
But when is your book coming out, because I'm looking forward to buying that! Have you already said whether it'll be available as ebook?
