Running Up That Hill is more than just a memoir; it is an exhilarating journey into the world of endurance running, chronicling the extraordinary lengths to which Vassos Alexander goes in his quest for adventure and personal challenge. From marathons in bustling cities to ultra-marathons across rugged landscapes, Alexander explores the physical and mental fortitude required to push beyond perceived limits. His humorous anecdotes, such as running an ultra in Paris backwards after missing the start, illustrate both the absurdity and the joy of this demanding sport.
