MY BOOK
I am thrilled that my first book was published by Meyer & Meyer Sport in July 2022!
“Marathon Wisdom, An Elite Athlete’s Insights on Running and Life” is a collection of everything I learned from training and competing as an elite athlete. Distilled into 42.195 (the number of kilometres in a marathon) separate insights, my book explores all the elements that go into running a good marathon, from prioritising the basics in training, to delivering your best performance under pressure, and looking after yourself.
But I don’t spoon-feed readers with a training plan. My book encourages you to think critically, develop self-awareness and understand what helps you to improve. Many of my insights are relevant and applicable beyond running - to any major challenge you may be taking on. My book can be read from cover to cover or dipped in and out of as each insight is self-standing.
I would love it if you bought my book – you can pre-order it at the links below. If you would like me to do a talk or coaching visit and bring signed copies of my book, please get in touch on the Contact page.
