An inspiring story of fatty to fitty and the power of the mind.
Aged 30, Ben had a routine medical and was told he wouldn't see 40
unless he changed his lifestyle. An overweight, sedentary smoker,
Ben had a young family and busy career with little time for
anything else. 10 years later having completed many of the world's
toughest ultra marathons including the Western States 100, the
Ultra Trail of Mont Blanc and the Marathon Des Sables, he was hit
with life-changing news when one of his daughters was diagnosed
with Type 1 Diabetes. Ben decided to undertake his toughest
challenge yet: to prove to her that anything was possible. One
evening, departing from the bright lights of Monte Carlo he headed
towards the mountainous terrain behind the Cote d'Azur to run an
unsupported 100km / 62.5 miles trail run. For most hardened
ultra-marathon runners this would be a feat in itself, but for Ben
he had something to prove: choosing to descend the rugged terrain
he had already climbed and run the Cro Trail - a 130k / 81 mile
mountain trail ultra race. A thrilling and yet down to earth
account, detailing a young, working family man's journey to fitness
- his love of nature and travel evolves - these stories can only
inspire and motivate any reader.
