Running Up That Hill

Running Up That Hill is a celebration of endurance running. It chronicles the thrill and absurdity of covering extreme distances—through cities, over mountains, and across countries—distances most people can't imagine. Sports presenter Vassos Alexander is hooked, pushing the limits with audacious decisions like an ultra in Paris run backwards after missing the start, and heading to Wales for one of the world’s toughest mountain races with a badly sprained ankle. The narrative blends sharp humor with unwavering resilience, offering readers a front-row seat to the mindset that sustains miles, training, and tenacity. This title speaks to fans of the ultrarunning world, budding endurance athletes, and anyone who loves a good underdog story told with warmth and wit.

Eat and Run

Eat and Run opens a window into the life of Scott Jurek, a dominant force in ultrarunning for more than a decade. “Run until you can't run anymore. Then run some more. Find a new source of energy and will. Then run even faster.” Those words embody a career built on discipline, plant-based fueling, and unshakable focus. In 1999, as a relative unknown, Jurek surged to the lead in the Western States Endurance Run—a grueling 100-mile journey through the Sierra Nevada—demonstrating how relentless training, smart pacing, and mental edge can redefine what’s possible on the trail. Eat and Run blends personal story, practical training insight, and the evolution of a elite athlete, making it a compelling pick for readers who crave authentic sports memoirs and practical inspiration.
