A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ray Mathews set out at the age of 71 to run the Rowbotham Round Rotherham International 50-mile foot race (RRR) which attracts well over 350 athletes each year. Extraordinary enough at that age, you might think. But on the 30th anniversary of the event, Ray's plan was to run three times the distance, with the actual race sandwiched between the first and last legs. This is his story, interspersed with episodes from his life: 'My life today is so closely linked to my early years in more ways than one, by people who were instrumental in moulding me and teaching me the values that I would need in life.' It was his early physical training as a boxer that set the foundation for the endurance events on which he later concentrated, setting himself challenges throughout his life and developing the strength of mind he later relied on to meet those challenges. An inspirational book from a truly inspirational man.

Biographie de l'auteur

A true Yorkshire man, born at a time when a certain Mr. A Hitler was still slinging bombs at England, took advantage of freedom that allowed him to develop the strong character which would take him through the drama and trauma of his three score and ten years.
