Tales of the road

Out on 8 March, Running Up That Hill: The Highs and Lows of Going that Bit Further by sports presenter Vassos Alexander is described as “a celebration of endurance running”. It’s an entertaining read that covers challenges including the 250km Spartathalon and the 100 mile SDW100, via the occasional missing toenail and having to temporarily use a Zimmer frame.
