À propos de cet audio

 'Jenny Tough writes with the same talent, imagination, and sheer courage that she displays in her athletic endeavours. This book will broaden the horizons of all who venture between its covers.' - Emily Chappell, author of Where There's a Will

'I love that SOLO is part-self help and part adventure story. Jenny shows us all that the journey to self-belief comes with just as many ups and downs as the mountains she traverses and that, with a little trust in ourselves (and a few good cups of coffee) the next seemingly insurmountable pass is never beyond our reach.' - Anna McNuff, author of Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown Ups

Jenny Tough is an endurance athlete who's best known for running and cycling in some of world's most challenging events - achieving accolades that are an inspiration to outdoor adventurers everywhere. But SOLO tells the story of a much more personal project: Jenny's quest to come to terms with feelings and emotions that were holding her back. Like runners at any level, she knew already that running made her feel better, and like so many of us, she knew that completing goals independently was empowering, too. So she set herself an audacious objective: to run - solo, unsupported, on her own - across mountain ranges on six continents, starting with one of the most remote locations on Earth in Kyrgystan.

SOLO chronicles Jenny's journey every step of the way across the Tien Shan (Asia), the High Atlas (Africa), the Bolivian Andes (South America), the Southern Alps (Oceania), the Canadian Rockies (North America) and the Transylvanian Alps (Europe), as she learns lessons in self-esteem, resilience, bravery and so much more. What Jenny's story tells us most of all is that setting out to do things solo - whether the ambitious or the everyday - can be invigorating, encouraging and joyful. And her call to action to find strength, confidence and self-belief in everything we do will inspire and motivate.

I’ve been struggling with recovery and getting back into hiking and running. Listening to this as I get stronger helped motivate me! So grateful for her to share her story!!

Loved it

Jenny has put out an honest recount of her ambitious goals and her journey to achieve them. A welcome fresh perspective on what it is to have an adventure and how our inner vision of ourselves isn't always in line with how the outside world views us. It was a pleasure to listen to her growth and evolution as a woman and athlete throughout the years that the book covers. A highly recommended book!

An Inspiring Book

I enjoyed the story and narration. However, the author repeatedly puts herself in life threatening situations, and wears it as a badge of honour. I worry this sends the wrong message to inexperienced adventurers, who may then enter into dangerous situations because they think it’s normal, or even expected.

Everyone has their own risk tolerance, but I think the author misses her responsibility to caution others. It is possible to have epic adventures in the mountains safely.

Should have been more personal. Too much like a coach’s notebook,I never felt like I got the feeling of the places she visited

Lacking description and authenticity.I wish it was more personal. A bit dry
