Trail Blazer: My Life as an Ultra-distance Runner

Trail Blazer: My Life as an Ultra-distance Runner

What does it take to run a six-day race through the worldâ€™s harshest deserts? Or 100 miles in a single day at altitudes that would leave you breathless just walking? More than that, though: what is it like to win these races? South Africaâ€™s ultra-trail-running superstar Ryan Sandes has done just that. Since bursting onto the international trail-running scene by winning the first multistage race he ever entered â€“ the brutal Gobi March â€“ Ryan has gone on to win various other multistage and single-day races around the globe. Written with bestselling author and journalist Steve Smith, Trail Blazer â€“ My Life as an Ultra-distance Trail Runner recounts the life story of this intrepid sportsman, from his experiences as a rudderless party animal to becoming a world-class athlete, and includes details on his training regimes, race strategies and aspirations for future sporting endeavours.
Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the adrenaline-inducing trials and tribulations of one of South Africaâ€™s most awe-inspiring athletes, while endurance-sport participants â€“ from beginners to aspirant pros â€“ will benefit from his insights and advice. As Professor Tim Noakes says in the Foreword to this book: â€˜However much we might think we know and understand, there are some phenomena which now, and perhaps forever, we will never fully comprehend. We call such happenings â€œenigmasâ€. Or even miracles. Ryan Sandes is one such.â€™
