'A fascinating edifice of ideas ... But the pleasures of the book
are as much to do with the fascinating panoply of characters, war
heroes all, British, Commonwealth and Cretan, whose exploits
contributed so much to Hitler's downfall.

An undeniably ripping yarn. One for sofa surfers and adventurers
alike.

A marvellously eclectic book ... the perfect tonic for the paunchy,
jaded He-Man in your life and comatose inner heroes everywhere
*The Times*
Praise for Born to Run:
Part how-to manual, part scientific treatise but throughout a
ripping yarn, this book will inspire everyone who reads it to think

Not just a book for runners, but for anyone who has dreamed of
