Running on Empty, by Andy Blackford

If you’ve ever read Andy’s columns in Runner’s World you’ll know just how entertaining and inspiring his running anecdotes are. His publishers say:
“Running on Empty is the story of one man’s devotion to a sport for which he had no natural aptitude whatsoever. It is chiselled out in twenty years of anecdotal columns commissioned by Runner’s World magazine, recording his battles with injury, his experiments with diets and equipment, and his participation in lunatic events that have had him running up the Himalayas, across the Sahara, onto the Greenland ice-cap and through the Amazonian rainforest.”
