250KM IN THE SAHARA DESERT. 2 MONTHS TRAINING. CAN AGEING RUNNER AND AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR PAUL TONKINSON CONQUER THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST FOOT RACE?
Ageing as a runner is no joke. Paul Tonkinson discovers that in running, as in life, you are gradually overtaken by a stream of young people wearing clothes you couldn’t get in to and in shoes you don’t recognise. He observes that your relationship with running changes – you no longer run as fast as you can, you run as fast as your body can handle, which is slow. So, embrace it.
Why not the toughest footrace on earth? The Marathon Des Sables, a week long, 250km self-sufficient sweat fest across the Sahara Desert. What could possibly go wrong?
Turns out… lots. While training for the event, calves explode, tendons pop, knees disintegrate. Years come and go, time seems to be running out as the race seems an impossible dream and then, in 2024 when fitness is finally achieved, a freak accident. Paul is run over by dogs, hospitalised, all hope is lost…
Spring 2025, the planets align. Tonkinson snags entry to MDS, two months till race time. It’s on – the last hurrah. Get the gear down from the attic, apply the toe jelly and find that mandatory whistle.
With such little time to train, he can’t compete any more that’s for sure. So the question is more basic: can he possibly finish?©2026 Paul Tonkinson (P)2026 ID Audio
批評家のレビュー
Not really a book about running the Marathon des Sables. It's a reckoning. Never has an "existential rinse" been more entertaining, hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking
A book full of passion, humour and unexpected spiritual depth. I loved every page
Moving, inspiring and laugh-out-loud funny, this triumph of a book is a celebration of human endurance, camaraderie and what it means to feel truly, if achingly, alive
Paul's the perfect combo: he's got the gumption to take on the ultimate challenge, and the witty, self-deprecating comic voice to tell the story
Beautifully honest. I have experienced the Marathon des Sables from the comfort of my armchair – I hope I never get bored or daft enough to try it myself!
Paul takes us on a wonderful journey. Age is just a number!
