Esther Newman, Editor, Women's Running magazine 'A very inspiring and truly impressive adventure!' Frank Keogh, BBC sports journalist 'This book shows the determination and dedication needed to compete in such an incredibly tough challenge, a massive achievement. It's great insight on how to tackle a multi-day challenge!' Mimi Anderson, endurance athlete and multiple Guinness World Record holder 'Susannah was a really strong World Marathon Challenge competitor and her World Record is a really great achievement for an amateur runner.' Michael Wardian, male World Marathon Challenge record holder 'Grit and determination don't cover it. Susannah's world record transcended the world of endurance sport into the popular psyche. A true warrior.' George Nash, GB Olympic gold medalist, Rio Games 2016 '2019's Inspiration in Running is just that! Our award winner Susannah proves to us all that we can take great enjoyment from running whilst inspiring others along the way.' Sam Corrick, Editor, The Running Awards 'Sport requires great physical fitness but also significant mental toughness. This book is a fantastic insight into how Susannah took on and conquered a truly unique challenge.' Michael Caulfield, leading sports psychology consultant 'This book is a must read for anyone interested in amazing stories of human achievement.

Sure, there'll be some hacks and top tips for runners, but more than anything, you'll be inspired and uplifted.' Tim Lawler, Chief Executive, SportsAid 'As every runner knows, running is about more than putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are.'

Esther Newman, Editor, Women's Running magazine 'A very inspiring and truly impressive adventure!' Frank Keogh, BBC sports journalist
