Discover the extraordinary journey of Grégoire Chevignard in the Marabout book "From My Couch to the Toughest Footrace in the World". Through his personal story, he reveals his tips for achieving your sporting goals with humor and self-deprecation.
Summary:
Running? A strange activity I used to watch from afar, with a suspicious eye, from my couch. Then, one uneventful evening, one of my brothers challenged me by signing me up for a 5-kilometer race. Crossing the finish line, I thought to myself, "What if I could do better?"
From recklessness to mild madness, from nocturnal adventures to running commutes to work, from setbacks in the mud to magnificent epiphanies, an initiatory journey in a mind and body full of desires, doubts, and introspections, of a rookie runner endowed with a hefty dose of self-deprecation about his practice and that of runners in general.
About the Author:
In his forties and a family man, Grégoire Chevignard discovered running by chance. From one pair of shoes to another, he developed a passion for the sport.
