Description

Susie Chan is an icon of endurance running. She has completed the legendary Marathon des Sables more times than any other UK female, set the 12-hour treadmill world record and was one of the first women to finish all the World Marathon Majors. She regularly competes in endurance races, 100-milers and week-long stage races in the jungles of the Amazon Rainforest - all the more impressive given Susie only seriously took up running as she approached 40. Susies story is a rollercoaster fight against the odds. A toxic marriage, managing as a single mum, cataracts and cancer are among the obstacles she has overcome to become an inspiration for thousands. Through tales of her adventures, disappointments, traumas and triumphs, we learn what drives her passion for running; the countless reasons she finds to push herself further; the life-changing opportunities it has given her; and the amazing camaraderie and support she has found in the running community. Her down-to-earth personality, wicked sense of humour and commitment to the sport shine through every page as Susie offers lessons and advice for both the novice and the experienced runner. Her attitude to running is incredibly refreshing; she is totally immersed in her sport, from park runs and trails to ultra-marathons. Susie tells of the thrill of a PB, insists youre never too old to take up running, and demonstrates just how much you can achieve with self-motivation and positive energy.
