About this title

Synopsis

An ordinary man's account of an extraordinary sport—marathon running

"Marathons make you miserable, but they also give you the most unlikely and the most indescribable pleasures. It’s a world that I love—a world unlocked when you dress up in lycra, put plasters on your nipples and run 26.2 miles in the company of upwards of 30,000 complete strangers."

Phil Hewitt sets a fast pace in this light-hearted account of his adventures on the road. He has completed over 20 marathons in conditions ranging from blistering heat to snow and ice, and in locations from Berlin to New York. This story of an ordinary guy's addiction to running marathons looks at the highs and lows, the motivation that keeps you going when your body is crying out to stop, and tries to answer the ultimate question, "Why do you do it?"
