Running on Tired Legs
Bill Graham [Graham, Bill]
It is two days after his sixtieth birthday and Bill Graham is about to attempt to run further than he has ever done in his life. He has dodgy knees, a foot injury and a lack of self confidence going in to a run of over 100km across the fells of the English Lake District. From a background of low self esteem and a need to be accepted, this is an account of a more than slightly obsessed road runner whose total focus was on pace and times until he discovered a love for off road, mountains and ultra marathons.This book charts his running career from the school x-country runs through to the running boom in the early eighties and beyond into the world of ultra marathons. Many miles had been run and not all successfully, so would this prove to be a step too far or would his ageing body carry him through another challenge and enable him win through.Bill Graham has been running all his life and competed all over the UK, in the USA, in Europe and in South Africa. He now lives in Bristol with his wife Claire and two dogs Milligan and Ollie
