How Not To Run: A Journey to the Roof of the World is the story of
a weekend runner who only ever wanted to keep fit to ride her
horses with a little more finesse. Shauney always said she would
never race. 'I just don't see the point. I don't think it would be
for me,' she used to say. However, four and a half years later she
found herself standing in the midst of the towering Himalayas, on
the start line of the Everest Marathon, one of the toughest races
anywhere in the world. With numerous 10Ks, half-marathons, full
marathons, trail races and ultra-marathons already under her belt,
the road from adamant non-racer to extreme long-distance runner had
not been a smooth one - and was about to reach new heights of risk,
danger and near disaster. Follow Shauney's journey over thousands
of painful yet joyous miles, from some of the most beautiful,
hidden parts of Scotland, via unforgettable, eye-watering races,
all the way to the heights of the Himalayas - for the pinnacle of
her racing and fundraising career so far.

Legendary trainer Tim Grover uses his experience with the world's
top athletes to drill down into the killer instinct that separates
the good from the great, showing you how to tap into the dark side
of competitive intensity in order to win--regardless of the
circumstance or cost. For more than two decades, legendary trainer
Tim Grover has taken the greats--Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant,
Dwyane Wade, and hundreds of relentless competitors in sports,
business, and every walk of life--and made them greater. Now, for
the first time ever, he reveals what it takes to achieve total
mental and physical dominance, showing you how to be relentless and
achieve whatever you desire. Direct, blunt, and brutally honest,
Grover breaks down what it takes to be unstoppable: you keep going
when everyone else is giving up, you thrive under pressure, you
never let your emotions make you weak. In "The Relentless 13," he
details the essential traits shared by the most intense competitors
and achievers in sports, business, and all walks of life.
Relentless shows you how to trust your instincts and get in the
Zone; how to control and adapt to any situation; how to find your
opponent's weakness and attack. Grover gives you the same advice he
gives his world-class clients--"don't think"--and shows you that
anything is possible. Packed with previously untold stories and
unparalleled insight into the psyches of the most successful and
accomplished athletes of our time, Relentless shows you how even
the best get better...and how you can too.
