About this title

Synopsis

Mike Hare, affectionately known as The Incredible Shrinking Man, is living testament to what a human being can do when they harness the power of the mind/body connection.

Aged 50 and a successful businessman, Mike weighed 28 stone, was a stranger to exercise and a heart attack waiting to happen. He was involved in a car crash and could, have died, but he walked away without major injury. This was a wake up call and he felt that he was being given a second chance.

With steely determination, exercise and healthy eating, Mike lost 15 stone, and his self-belief and confidence grew. As a challenge, just 6 months after taking up jogging, he completed his first half marathon- the Great North Run.

Just five months after having major surgery to remove huge flaps of loose skin, and now aged 54, he completed The Flora London Marathon. He went on to complete The Edinburgh Marathon, a second Great North Run, the Great Eastern Run, and one of the worlds most challenging; the Athens Classic Marathon, just four years after that car crash.

From Sofa to Start Line is an inspirational and humorous memoir about how he overcame huge obstacles and changed his life in the process.

Mike Hares story is an extraordinary tale of dedication, hard work and total commitment to change...He has helped many along the way and has become a true inspiration to all.
