There are meltdowns, feet so sore that every step hurts, stubborn cows, and the lift only the camaraderie of other runners and the kindness of amazing volunteers can give.
It's also a celebration of the South Downs Way and the best of the English countryside.
Told with dry humour and clear, honest detail about pacing, fuelling and mindset, Did Not Sleep is perfect for fans of trail running, endurance challenges, and true to life race stories you can finish in a sitting or two. The outcome finish line or DNF hangs in the balance right to the final pages.
