Synopsis

Ever wondered what separates those who achieve their wildest dreams from those who just dream?

What if the secret to reaching your ultimate running goals - or any life goal - was hidden in plain sight?

Welcome to "The Run of Life" - where international ultrarunner Steve Till pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to transform from a back-of-the-pack runner into a Team GB athlete.

This isn't just another running book - it's your personal roadmap to unlocking breakthrough performance, whether you're aiming for your first 5K or your hundredth marathon.

Through raw, inspiring stories from his journey from dead-last finisher to national champion, plus insights from countless athletes who've defied their limits, Steve reveals the exact framework that turns big dreams into reality.

You'll discover how to identify your personal "mountaintop" goal, craft an unshakeable game plan, and develop the mental toughness to push through when everything screams "quit."

Inside these pages, you'll find the battle-tested strategies that helped Steve complete over 100 marathons, 500 parkruns, and even tackle the mind-bending challenge of race-walking 100 miles in under 24 hours.

But here's the best part - these principles work whether you're lacing up running shoes or chasing any other massive goal in your life.

This isn't about preaching - it's about providing you with practical tools, fascinating stories, and the spark of inspiration you need to reach your own personal summit.

About this title

About the Author

An international athlete, having worn the vest of his country in 100km and 24-hour events, Steve Till spent more than 50 years battling to be the best he could be at road running, cross country, trail running, track running, triathlon, race walking and ultrarunning.He has run more than 100 marathons, more than 500 parkruns, and qualified as a Centurion for race-walking 100 miles in less than 24 hours in a judged race. He has also completed two Ironman-plus triathlons - actually Quadrathons, consisting of a two-mile sea swim, 50km walk, 100-mile cycle and marathon run. In addition, he has coached dozens of runners of all standards, and spectated at numerous events - from local to international, from parkrun to Olympics. He has also thought ceaselessly and written extensively about this simple but endlessly fascinating sport for the last 50 years.And perhaps more importantly, despite having achieved all of the above, he would say that he is just an ordinary runner with little natural talent. He has achieved what he has achieved with no sponsorship, and whilst holding down a job and bringing up a family, so his story and his hard-won insights may resonate more strongly with you, the aspiring runner, the ambitious running, even the average runner, than lessons from the elites.
