WINNER OF THE CROSS SPORTS BOOK AWARD FOR NEW WRITER OF THE YEAR
'Lyrical and passionate ... a celebration of the human spirit and
what it can achieve' Observer Two hours to cover twenty-six miles
and 385 yards. An exceptional feat of speed, mental strength and
endurance. The sub-two-hour marathon is running's Everest, a feat
once seen as impossible for the human body. But now we have reached
the mountaintop. In this spellbinding book Ed Caesar takes us into
the world of the elite of the elite: the greatest marathoners on
earth. Through the stories of these rich characters, and their
troubled lives, he traces the history of the marathon as well as
the science, physiology and psychology involved in running so fast,
for so long. And he shows us why this most democratic of races
retains its savage, enthralling appeal - why we are drawn to test
ourselves to the limit. Now with a new afterword telling the inside
story of how Eliud Kipchoge achieved the impossible, with exclusive
access to Nike's #Breaking2 project, and the Ineos159 event at
which the barrier was finally broken.
