About this listen
Dom Harvey is a hugely popular radio DJ. He's known for his funny gags and has been described as a shock-jock. So it might come as a surprise to find out that Dom is also seriously into running - marathon running. In fact, he loves it.
This audiobook is a love story about running and about marathons especially. What got Dom into marathons? How did running save his life? And why, despite being an old fart, is he now trying to run even faster than ever before?
Dom is just a regular guy who drank too much alcohol and ate too much shitty food, then fell in love with running and turned his life around (and became a bit of a running nerd along the way).

Hilarious, fun, inspiring, page turner.
This is one of the best running books I've read, and I've read quite a few. The comedy is great. The story is even better, and it's so very relatable for a runner trying to go from average, to a little bit better than average. This will be one of the books I recommend first, when anyone asks for suggestions.

Absolutely loved it - inspiring and funny
Apart from falling in love with the Kiwi accent, this was a fabulous memoir with a beautiful balance of honesty, suspense and humour.
Thanks!

Loved it!
I'm just starting to get back into running and i found this book very inspiring to set myself some new goals!
Well written and from the heart with great laughs throughout it!
Couldn't help but think it would have been great to have Dom narrate the book himself as he is a radio host....
Highly recommend !

All the feels
Hooked from the first chapter, I found myself following the story as if it were my own. Felt all the disappointments and the joys in every chapter. GOLD.

Inspirational
Thanks Dom for a hugely entertaining and inspiring chat, (that’s what it felt like) on running and all the ups and down most runners can relate to.

Hilarious, encouraging, and honest memoir
What a great read! Great performance, also.
Yes, the story is so relatable. I could adopt the author's running experience into my running training, and my performance actually got improved! As we all know, running brings us pain, discipline, learning, freedom, and joy. The author illustrates all these elements so vividly - I could not help but laughing out loud when Dom talked about 'Code Yellow' and 'Code Brown'!
Definitely a 'Must read' book, if you are 'an average' runner, but wanting to go a little bit faster.
