In 490 BCE Pheidippides ran for 36 hours straight from Athens to
Sparta to seek help in defending Athens from a Persian invasion. He
was hailed as a hero and his run stands enduringly as one of
greatest physical accomplishments in history. Dean Karnazes honours
this achievement and his own Greek heritage by attempting this
ancient journey in modern times. His account of running the
gruelling Spartathlon, fuelled only by the figs, olives and meats
available to Pheidippides, will captivate even the most sedentary
readers.
