Description
2020 was a year that rewrote the records in long-distance running. The COVID-19 pandemic brought an unprecedented surge in attempts to break these records, and Ally Beaven takes us behind the scenes of this extraordinary summer.
In his book Broken, Beaven shares his own experiences supporting runners as they pushed their limits, from hours spent feeding and cajoling athletes in the hills to following live trackers and refreshing Twitter feeds into the night. Through the stories of several record-breakers, including John Kelly's epic Grand Round and Beth Pascall's Bob Graham Round, Beaven brings us an inside look at the incredible world of Fastest Known Times.
Broken is a fascinating account of a historic time for running in the UK, when the absence of races led to a surge in popularity among record-breakers. This book offers a unique insight into the world of long-distance running and the people who drive it forward.
