Synopsis

How Not to Run: Welcome to the Jungle is a roller-coaster account of extreme event enthusiast Shauney Watson’s four-year journey to reach one of the toughest ultra marathons on Earth – in the heart of the Amazon jungle.

In this hotly anticipated sequel to How Not to Run: A Journey to the Roof of the World you will find:

• A real-life story of one runner’s remarkable journey to one of the most hostile environments on Earth
• A first-hand account of some of the flora, fauna, communities and terrain rarely seen by the outside world as the race enters an area of jungle usually reserved for research purposes
• A traveller’s account of some of the most spectacular sights in the world, including Machu Picchu and Bai Tu Long Bay
• It’s not just the miles that are demanding: with humidity and altitude becoming the enemy, and deadly animals and insects lurking at every turn, the end goal becomes survival

A down-to-earth, inspirational story set in the world of extreme endurance and filled with anecdotes and humour, this is an ‘everyday’ runner’s perspective on what it takes to become a multi-stage endurance athlete.
