The inspirational and relatable real-life story of how accountant Peter Wright transformed himself from being mildly active to an endurance event extraordinaire.

Foreword from Rory Coleman, the UK's leading ultramarathon coach.

Forty is the age when people tend to wind things down to a life a bit more ordinary. Not Peter. Having put his questionable athletic ability and mild asthma to one side, he catches the running bug and completes the London Marathon. Only, this isn't the end of the story. Instead, it provides the springboard for a passion for endurance challenges.

Follow Peter as he:

Crosses desert, tropical rainforest and Arctic tundra, to raise more than GBP100,000 for charity Completes the Marathon des Sables, the Jungle Ultra, the Western States 100, the Cape Wrath Ultra and many other gruelling challenges Runs a marathon while dragging a car Takes the ultimate test while nearing 50: rowing the Atlantic Ocean on a very small boat with his friend and fellow adventurer, Steve Hayes

Inspiring, hilarious and jaw-dropping, this book shows what you can achieve if you put your mind to it, and why age - and a lack of athletic ability - is no barrier to pushing beyond your imagined limits.
