Description
Elise Downing's journey around Britain is a story of self-discovery and adventure, as she sets out to run 5,000 miles along the coast with nothing but her wits and a backpack to keep her company.
With no ultra-running experience and a lack of preparation, Elise faces numerous challenges as she navigates the ups and downs of long-distance running, from debilitating fears to moments of pure joy.
This is a heartwarming and humorous account of one woman's quest to find adventure and meaning in the most unexpected places, and to discover that sometimes, the greatest rewards come from taking a leap of faith.
