This is a running book like no other.The stories are those of an unremarkable man who sleptwalked into what transpired to be a series of remarkable running adventures around the world as he completed 100 marathons. Adventures which traversed highs and lows, from glorious ultramarathon victories and befriending natives to ignominious withdrawals and encounters with the local constabulary in three different countries. In short, the stuff of a mother's nightmares, but a bar room dream.As the title implies, this book might not be one for the running purists, but it hopefully shows that even long distance running can be pursued without unduly sacrificing less wholesome aspects of life. It is a book primarily intended to make the reader smile and persuade them to run a little (for the non-runners) or a little more (for the runners).

The world died the day the power grid failed. Civilizations crumbled and life ground to a halt. Those who survived the transition became...something else.Two years have passed since the lights went out. Crow and his small group of survivors have done their best to forage supplies and live off the land but danger looms in every shadow. Marauding bands of Traders are on their trail, eager to capture them and worse. Fleeing, the band stumble upon a secret they were never meant to learn. One capable of transforming the world again this time with dire consequences.Crow is forced underground and discovers a forgotten world. Entire cities thriving with artificial intelligence still exist, forcing humanity down through politics, fear, and oppression. Trapped between an enemy they can't outrun and one they don't understand, Crow and the others stand at the edge. One path leads back into the growing wastelands. The other into a fate darker than any imagined.The choice is before them. Dive in headfirst or burn out with the light.
