Product Description This book tells the story of his journey from aspiring schoolboy to international ultrarunner. On the way, he set records for the 270-mile Pennine Way, the 190-mile Coast to Coast and the Ultimate Ultra, a continuous run over the three British 24-hour mountain circuits totalling 183 miles and 83,000ft of ascent – a feat regarded as impossible, and a dream edging into a nightmare. Stepping back from ultras at the age of fifty, mike’s dreams and adventures continued. Not content to take it easy, he tackled a cycle ride from Land’s End to John O’ Groats – via the British Three peaks – and solo climbing in Yosemite; had adventures in kayaks, and escaped a flooded cave. “From One Extreme to Another” finishes as it started: dreaming, aspiring and achieving.
