Just finished reading "Dare to Run" by Amit Sheth - his book on his conquest of Comrades Marathon in 2010, which was after an unsuccessful attempt the previous year. The book talks of his saga from television couch potato to a marathoner, nay ultra-marathoner. The narrative is beautifully interspersed with stories from indian and greek mythology besides his philosophical meanderings.
Read this book you want to run - and think you can't. Read this book if you already run and want to understand why. Read this book if you want to take your running to the next level.
An outstanding exploration and achievement in sport, at any age. Good for anyone looking to start running or has lost motivation in the midst.
This book is not just about running. It is about life, hope and positive thoughts. U ll not regret reading this.
Extremely Insightful, literally painting the picture especially for runners
good motivation! helped me run my first Marathon!
