'A wonderful read...I highly recommend it' - Adharanand Finn,
author of Running with the Kenyans. When Michael Stocks stands at
the starting line of a 24-hour race on an athletics track in South
London, it is noon and rain is beginning to fall. His aim is to run
more than 150 miles by noon the following day, in order to fulfil
his dream of being selected to run for Great Britain. He is 49
years old, and it will require the performance of a lifetime. One
Track Mind tells the story of these 24 life-changing hours. It
reveals the mental tools that make it possible to run six marathons
in a single day, and how they can be applied to other parts of
life. And it shares the realisations about life that remain long
after the race has ended. A love letter to a race, to a community
at the frontier of sport and to life itself, One Track Mind is an
inspirational examination of the fascinating world of extreme
endurance.
