The i-Run team says
In the Pocket Book Paulsen "A Crazy History of Trail Running", Jean-Philippe Lefief recounts the great moments of trail running through stories from around the world. Discover the events that have marked the universe of sports and learn more about the origins of running.
Summary:
Who is the first "trail runner"? Perhaps Pheidippides, who is presented as the father of the marathon: not only did he not die upon arrival, but he likely ran 200 kilometers more than the official 42.
Maybe Malcolm III, King of Scotland, who organized an endurance race in the Highlands in the 11th century. Perhaps a bushman exhausting an antelope by running, an unknown Tarahumara, a British "pedestrian" swallowing miles to the point of exhaustion.
Jean-Philippe Lefief, translator of the best-seller "Born to Run", drew from his experience as a trail runner and an erudite journalist to connect in a single narrative these stories from the past where endurance goes beyond limits.
Author's Presentation:
Passionate about ultra-trail since 2005, Jean-Philippe Lefief has notably participated ten times in the Mont-Blanc race and has run a total of about sixty. A journalist by profession and a specialist in international news, he has been working at Reuters since 2000.
