Charlie Spedding describes himself as 'not particularly talented' -
at least, compared to the group of people he had chosen to find
himself among. These were the athletes in the Olympic marathon. So
how did he end up with a bronze medal? How did he win the London
Marathon? And why does he still hold the English record for the
distance? In this remarkable autobiography he explains how - how
someone who was almost bottom of the class when he first went to
school, and even worse at sport, eventually turned himself into a
genuinely world-class athlete, competing in top marathons all over
the world, and genuinely going from last to first. As well as the
enthralling life story of one of our finest distance runners, this
book is a wonderfully clear and inspiring piece of life coaching
for anyone who wants to make the most of their talents. But more
than this, as Spedding says at the start, 'I believe that on
occasions you can create the circumstances in which you can perform
at a higher level than your talent says you can'. Spedding's own
story, and his chronicle of the big races he excelled in, proves
it's true. For anyone aspiring to run a marathon, or indeed anyone
who wants to set themselves a goal they think beyond their reach -
and achieve it - this is an essential book.
