Full Tilt is the inspiring true story of Dervla Murphy's 1963 journey from Ireland to India on an Armstrong Cadet bicycle, and the trials, landscapes, and cultures she encountered along the way. The route takes her through the valleys and snowy mountain passes of Europe and India to the scorching deserts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the metal of her bicycle, Rozinante (named after Don Quixote's steed), becomes too hot to touch.

In 2017, world-class ultrarunner Hillary Allen was at the top of her sport - and it felt like she was running on top of the world as she competed in Norway's Tromsø Skyrace. Allen was nearly halfway through the 50-kilometer race when she fell 150 feet off an exposed ridge, fracturing her back and breaking multiple ribs, both feet, and both of her lower arms. Beginning with the dramatic story of her accident and rescue, Out and Back: A Runner's Story of Survival Against All Odds recounts Allen's fight to return to the life she loves.

Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, the mountains have always been home for Jenny Tough. Travelling the world, she's always discovered commonalities with mountains—and mountain people. Her major project is to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent where indigenous mountain people live isolated from the outside, urban world. Running solo and unsupported comes with obvious logistical as well as physical challenges, but running is also a common language.

Scott Jurek is one of the world's best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Renowned for his remarkable endurance and speed, accomplished on a vegan diet, he's finished first in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite events over the course of his career. But after two decades of racing, training, speaking, and touring, Jurek felt an urgent need to discover something new about himself. He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail.

Kristin Newman spent her 20s and 30s dealing with the stresses of her high-pressure job as a television comedy writer, and the anxieties of watching most of her friends get married and start families while she wrestled with her own fear of both. Not ready to settle down and yet loathe to become a sad-sack single girl, Kristin instead started traveling the world, often alone, for a few months each year, falling madly in love with attractive locals who provided moments of the love she wanted without the cost of the freedom she needed.

Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone, without support and completely human powered. Yet, Colin O’Brady was determined to do just that, even if, 10 years earlier, there was doubt that he’d ever walk again normally. From the depths of a tragic accident, he fought his way back. In a quest to unlock his potential and discover what was possible, he went on to set three mountaineering world records before turning to this historic Antarctic challenge.

In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and career - as an elite athlete and a vegan - and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family, to his early beginnings in running (he hated it), to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his world-spanning, record-breaking races, Scott's story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart all the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance.

On January 14, 2015, Tommy Caldwell, along with his partner, Kevin Jorgeson, summited what is widely regarded as the hardest climb in history - Yosemite’s nearly vertical 3,000-foot Dawn Wall, after 19 days on the route. This engrossing memoir chronicles the journey of a boy with a fanatical mountain-guide father who was determined to instill toughness in his son to a teen whose obsessive nature drove him to the top of the sport-climbing circuit.

Description
"A thrilling, coming-of-age journey that will make you yearn to go on your own adventures.” (Runner's World)
Anna was never anything like those "real" runners on telly - all spindly limbs, tiny shorts, and split times - but when she read about New Zealand’s 3,000-kilometer-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder...perhaps being a "real" runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway?
Travelling alone through New Zealand’s backcountry for 148 days, she scrambled through forests, along ridgelines, over mountain passes, along beaches, and across swollen rivers. Running up to 52 kilometers in a day, she slept wild most nights and was taken into the homes and hearts of the Kiwi people in between.
The Pants of Perspective is a witty, colorful, and at times painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself to be capable of. It is a coming-of-age story that will lead you on a roller-coaster ride through fear, vulnerability, courage, and failure.
For anyone who has ever dreamt of taking on a great challenge but felt too afraid to begin - this story is for you.

Like you're along for the run!
The Pants of Perspective joined me on my regular runs - providing entertainment and motivation. Anna McNuff's story of running the length of New Zealand is full of quirky stories, lovely encounters, struggles and triumphs. This was an excellent audiobook to listen to during my own runs and it felt like Anna was running alongside me chatting away about her adventure! Thanks Anna!

What an adventure Anna had!!
Anna McNuff is not only a fearless explorer but a brilliant writer AND an excellent linguist! Thank-you Anna, for the candid telling of your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Also your descriptions of all that you encountered along the trail brought me close to your experienced reality! I highly recommend this book to anyone, as it is inspiring, entertaining, educational, and quite hilarious at some points!

I downloaded this book for my long runs and I found that even when Anna is having a down moment, she finds a way to pick herself and ME up along with her. I really enjoyed this listen, and I will be downloading her other books as well.

An Inspiring Book for Everyone
As a non-runner, non-adventurer - it took me a minute to start on this book. Once I did, Anna's storytelling swept me into her joy and excitement of planning and executing an insane journey across New Zealand. Loved every second of the book, and would highly recommend it to anyone who is facing a challenge (of any kind) and needs some motivation to keep going - on a broken ankle and with a dislocated shoulder. Her constant reminder that success is just 20 more km down the road. Loved the final exploration of elation and contentment.

I really enjoy listening to all of Anna's adventure. Weither I am doing the dishes or going for a walk, she is really entertaining and inspirering. I went to New Zealand now 5 years ago and I just felt like I was revisiting the trail and being charm by the Kiwi's allover again.
Now I feel like I need to get back i shape and go live my own adventure
