Description
The sub-two-hour marathon is running's Everest, a feat once seen as impossible for the human body. Yet, with the right combination of speed, mental strength and endurance, it has become a reality. Ed Caesar takes us into the world of elite runners, tracing the history of the marathon and exploring the science, physiology and psychology involved in running so fast, for so long. Through their stories, he shows why this most democratic of races retains its savage, enthralling appeal - why we are drawn to test ourselves to the limit. A new afterword provides exclusive insights into Eliud Kipchoge's record-breaking achievement, with access to Nike's #Breaking2 project and the Ineos159 event that finally broke the barrier.
