What really happens when an ordinary person takes on one of the most extraordinary physical and mental challenges of their life? This is not a guide written by a personal trainer, a celebrity, or a superhuman athlete-this is the raw, unfiltered story of someone who's been there, done it (twice), and lived to tell the tale with sore knees and a medal to prove it.
From those dark early morning training runs through snow, sleet, and soul-searching doubt, to the euphoric chaos of race day, Keep Moving Forward is a refreshingly real look at what it actually takes to train for and finish a marathon. Packed with practical tips, hard-won lessons, funny stories, emotional reflections, and an honest insight into injury, motivation, gear, playlists, and portaloos-this book is like having a brutally honest running mate in your corner.
Whether you're thinking about your first 5K, eyeing up the London Marathon, or already in the depths of training and wondering why the hell you signed up-this is the read that will lift you up, make you laugh, and remind you that if one guy with dodgy knees and a love of beer can do it... so can you.
Because it's not about speed. It's not about perfection. It's about one thing:
KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
