Ultratortoise - Sofa Jockey to Ultra Runner

Treadmill disasters, Dog attack, surgery, my first half marathon then onto my first marathon finally ending with a blow by blow account of my first ultramarathon a 69 mile race along the route of Hadrian's Wall. This book will offer a detailed and at times intimate no holds barred look at what it took for me to get my lazy backside off my warm sofa and become and ultra runner.

The book is part diary part training guide and aimed at anyone looking to make a change in their life. I cover my diet, training techniques and share many thoughts on what it takes to get over the finish line, with an approach that delves deeply into both the physical and mental aspects of distance running.

This book is a final compilation of my previous shorter journals into one much larger more extended single volume of over 50 thousand words, images and links to more online content.
