Gavin boyter (110 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Approaching his middle forties, Gavin Boyter wondered what his life was all about. A Scot living in London, single and with no kids, he was living for the job and the dwindling hope of a career in film. He had been a club runner all his life, pretty good but not at the front all that often. He was what he called an ordinary runner and he came to wonder just what an ordinary runner might be capable of. How about John O'Groats to Land's End, the longest linear run in Britain, and how about making a film of it? And how about writing a book? As usual, Gavin was neither the first nor the quickest but Downhill from Here is his real triumph, written in such an engaging and witty voice the reader accompanies him every step of the way.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. 'I wanted to get to know the country I'd lived in my whole life in an entirely new way. To see how its landscapes, peoples and climate changed as I proceeded south. And of course I wanted to test my mettle. But really, this was more than just something I wanted to do; it was something I needed to do'. Gavin Boyter is an ordinary man, a Scottish filmmaker living in London with little career prospects and a dwindling personal life. An amateur runner, he had an impressive selection of races under his belt, however with each marathon he was left with a thirst for more. A need to do something grandiose and extraordinary. Then he found ultra-running. Adventurous, Epic, Enduring. Ultra-running is more than just a 'fun run', each race spanning hundreds of miles. Engrossed in this new-found world, Gavin decided it was time he put himself and his physical endurance to the ultimate test. Naturally, he made the decision to run 1,100 miles in under a month. Described by world record holder and ultra-endurance athlete Sean Conway as 'an epic adventure on our epic island', Downhill From Here: Running from John O'Groats to Land's End is a witty, hearty and altogether inspirational story of an average man taking on an extraordinary feat. Immersed in Gavin Boyter's adventure, his wry yet compelling voice takes us through the highs and lows of an astounding journey, showing just how far an 'ordinary runner' can go.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Armed with a toilet trowel and a converted Mazda Bongo called Roxy, self-styled 'ordinary' ultrarunner, Gavin Boyter, embarks on his latest long-distance challenge: to run the 3400km from Paris to Istanbul along the route of the world's most illustrious railway journey, the Orient Express.And, despite work on Roxy having hampered his training programme, Gavin remains undeterred and plans to run through eight countries, to cross 180 rivers and to ascend 16,500 metres, through forests, mountains, plains and major cities - aided all the way by temperamental mapping technology and the ever encouraging support of his girlfriend, Aradhna.En route, Gavin will pass through urban edgelands and breathtaking scenery, battlefields and private estates, industrial plants and abandoned villages, and on through a drawn-back Iron Curtain where the East meets West.He will encounter packs of snarling, feral dogs, wild boar, menacing cows, and a herd of hundreds of deer. But he will also meet many fascinating characters, including a German, leg-slapping masseuse, music-loving Austrian farmers, middle-class Romanians, itinerant Romanies, stoic soldiers, and boisterous Turks.However, confined to the cramped conditions of Roxy, and each other's company, Gavin and Aradhna's journey is not only a test of the endurance and stamina required to put in the hard miles, but of their relationship, too. After all, if they can survive this challenge, they can survive anything.But will Gavin's legs make it all the way to Istanbul, where he has planned a special surprise for Aradhna.…
