Published in 1996, this book tells the story of the Land's End to John O'Groats run by husband and wife team Richard and Sandra Brown. Both completed the run and together they set new men's and women's records for the 830 mile challenge.
But the book is much more than that, going into the planning for the run and explaining what can be learnt from such an endeavour. The Winning Experience elaborates on how to win in sport, in business and in life.
I was given this copy by Sandra in 1999 when she came to Australia to walk in our annual Centurions 24 Hour Walk. I read it at the time and was just so impressed. After 15 years, I felt it was time to read it again. It is a challenging and inspiring book and much more than just the description of a wonderful athletic feat.
