The World Marathon Challenge. The ultimate race for adventurous runners. What does it take to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, set two new world records, and
win the entire race overall? How do you cope with biting cold Arctic conditions one day, searing hot the next? How do you survive, mentally and physically, the onslaught of sensations—fears,
fatigue, depression, elation—that threaten to overwhelm you? What does it take to get to the starting line… and what does it take to finish? This book is David Gething’s amazing story of his
journey from high school drop-out to university graduate, from a middle-aged couch potato to a World Marathon champion.
