Summary
‘I laughed, gulped and cried as I read Susie’s stories of battling through some of the hardest races on this planet as well as some of the hardest moments in her life’ Sophie Raworth
'Tells it all with an openness and honesty that comes from having endured some of the world's most gruelling tests of endurance' Dean Karnazes, ultramarathoner and New York Times bestselling author
'A truly inspirational read from a brilliant and determined runner' Iwan Thomas
AN EXHILARATING LISTEN FROM ONE OF THE UK'S LEADING AND MOST RECOGNISED ENDURANCE RUNNERS.
Susie Chan is an icon of endurance running. Since taking up running at the age of 35, she has completed the legendary Marathon des Sables more times than any other British woman, set the 12-hour treadmill World Record and was one of the first women to finish all the World Marathon Majors.
Susie’s story is an inspirational fight against the odds. From leaving a dysfunctional marriage, managing as a single mum and tackling cancer treatment, Susie has had her fair share of adversity. Throughout it all, running has kept her going. She always finds a reason to lace up her shoes and hit the road – or the track, trail or tread. Her mantra: You never regret a run.
From the Moroccan desert, the Peruvian jungle and the sweltering Death Valley, to Susie’s local South Downs and a running track in Tooting, her adventures take her across the globe. With Susie’s down-to-earth personality, refreshing attitude and wicked sense of humour, we learn the countless reasons she finds to push herself further and the life-changing opportunities running has given her.
Her passion for the sport is infectious, and her story is a shining example to all in the running community and beyond.

A great explanation of how it's possible to love and hate a sport (/obsession!) quite so much
Absolutely loved this book. Susie has poured the perfect mix of emotion and humour into writing this. What a legend!

absolutely fantastic
Highly recommend. susies story is as inspiring as her personality comes across in her social media. An incredible role model for all women. Thank you to Bloomsbury for publishing this story and Susie for writing it. There are so few womens adventure/sporting stories/autobiographies to read compared to men's so it's wonderful someone so relatable as Susie is given a voice.

Utterly inspiring
What an amazing person… Susie has had a fascinating journey and this book really does inspire. Written from the heart and wonderfully read by Susie herself. You don’t need to be a runner or ultra-runner to gain from reading/listening to this.
Having run with Susie a couple of times in the studio at Peloton she always struck me as an amazing person… if proof was needed it abounds here! PandersAndy

Loved it, even as a non-running cyclist
As a non-runner (Peloton cyclist), I had to wait for my runner hubby to listen first. Susie narrates her story so well and describes with brutal honesty the highs and lows of ultra running. I could not stop listening.
