| book description |

The inspirational and relatable real-life story of how financial officer Peter Wright transformed himself from being mildly active to an endurance event extraordinaire. Foreword from Rory Coleman, the UKâ€™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 isnâ€™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 Â£100,000 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 â€“ and a lack of athletic ability â€“ is no barrier to pushing beyond your imagined limits.
