About this book
How Not To Run: A Journey to the Roof of the World is the story of a weekend runner who only ever wanted to keep fit to ride her horses with a little more finesse. Shauney always said she would never race. "I just don't see the point. I don't think it would be for me," she used to say. However, four and a half years later she found herself standing in the midst of the towering Himalayas, on the start line of the Everest Marathon, one of the toughest races anywhere in the world. With numerous 10Ks, half-marathons, full marathons, trail races, and ultra-marathons already under her belt, the road from adamant non-racer to extreme long-distance runner had not been a smooth one—and was about to reach new heights of risk, danger, and near disaster. Follow Shauney's journey over thousands of painful yet joyous miles, from some of the most beautiful, hidden parts of Scotland, via unforgettable, eye-watering races, all the way to the heights of the Himalayas—for the pinnacle of her racing and fundraising career so far.
