Publisher's summary

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).

New Zealand is proud to have Dom Harvey as one of its top radio hosts. Why not let Dom tell his story? Get real.

it was ok

it takes a while for the story to get going. I like the way he describes his experiences for Tokyo and Berlin because it was relatable. At times the reader was boring and mechanical. it was half a book later before he was more relaxed and engaging. Not a bad read if you like down to earth diaries.

seriously funny and inspirational

Dom's book is a must read for runners. just love the message and humility that comes thru. so easy to lose a couple of hours listening to him give himself sh*t whilst pushing himself to new limits
