Synopsis

Steve Ganton has always wanted to run a marathon. Can he build on his experience of completed half marathons to run the full distance, or is it just a bridge too far? He's watched others run it, trained regularly, and following his instincts intensifies his preparations. All seems well until one day he wakes up with a health scare that nearly derails all his efforts. When he eventually does get back on track, his determination is unshaken. Can the reward prove worth all the pain on the day, as he pushes an exhausted body through those last few miles to reach for his hard won prize?

About the Author

For Andrew Rees, running has been a habit for over thirty years, and an integral part of life in such places as Sydney, Tokyo, Taipei and London. Born and brought up in Bromley, Kent, he spent sixteen years in Sydney, New South Wales before returning to south-east London where he now lives with his partner and two children. He still runs competitively, and has completed several half and three full marathons in recent years, having run a tough first marathon at age fifty. His first book, 'Light Places' was published in 2006. 'Running Over' is his second one.
