John Wallace is no ordinary runner. Over the course of his career, Wallace completed 376 marathons in 125 countries. He holds eight world records, including being the first to run thirty-one marathons in thirty-one different countries in a single year. Join Wallace as he recounts the path he took, or rather ran , to become one of the most successful international marathoners in this engaging, humorous, and motivational memoir. Plenty of obstacles appeared along the way, including the need to locate, register, and make accommodations in foreign countries without the benefit of the Internet. And when he decided to run a marathon in every country in Europe, Wallace had to find people willing to help him organize races in countries without established marathons. But Wallace persevered and, in 2009, crushed another world record when he crossed the finish line in Tahiti-breaking the record of a marathon in ninety-nine different countries. He continued to set goals and break records, completing a marathon in nearly every capital in the world. Whether you run, travel, or prefer the comfort of your living room couch, you'll love this celebration of the world's vastness-and the perseverance of the human spirit.
