'Jenny Tough writes with the same talent, imagination, and sheer
courage that she displays in her athletic endeavours. This book
will broaden the horizons of all who venture between its covers.' -
Emily Chappell, author of Where There's a Will 'I love that SOLO is
part-self help and part adventure story. Jenny shows us all that
the journey to self-belief comes with just as many ups and downs as
the mountains she traverses and that, with a little trust in
ourselves (and a few good cups of coffee) the next seemingly
insurmountable pass is never beyond our reach.' - Anna McNuff,
author of Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown Ups Jenny Tough is an
endurance athlete who's best known for running and cycling in some
of world's most challenging events - achieving accolades that are
an inspiration to outdoor adventurers everywhere. But SOLO tells
the story of a much more personal project: Jenny's quest to come to
terms with feelings and emotions that were holding her back. Like
runners at any level, she knew already that running made her feel
better, and like so many of us, she knew that completing goals
independently was empowering, too. So she set herself an audacious
objective: to run - solo, unsupported, on her own - across mountain
ranges on six continents, starting with one of the most remote
locations on Earth in Kyrgystan. SOLO chronicles Jenny's journey
every step of the way across the Tien Shan (Asia), the High Atlas
(Africa), the Bolivian Andes (South America), the Southern Alps
(Oceania), the Canadian Rockies (North America) and the
Transylvanian Alps (Europe), as she learns lessons in self-esteem,
resilience, bravery and so much more. What Jenny's story tells us
most of all is that setting out to do things solo - whether the
ambitious or the everyday - can be invigorating, encouraging and
joyful. And her call to action to find strength, confidence and
self-belief in everything we do will inspire and motivate.
