Description
Nick Butter's incredible journey to become the fastest person to cover ever mile of Britain's mainland coastline on foot is a testament to human endurance and determination. Over 100 days, he battled extreme weather conditions, including winds that were among the worst in British history, and covered an astonishing 5,250 miles while running two marathons a day. Supported by friends and family, Nick faced numerous challenges, including sleep deprivation, weight loss, and injuries, but was buoyed along by the support of thousands of people he met on his journey. His adventure took him through over 2,000 coastal communities, where he was cheered on by enthusiastic crowds and fellow runners alike. This is Nick Butter's account of an extraordinary adventure that pushed his body and mind to their limits, and offers a unique insight into the human spirit of endurance and perseverance.
