How Not to Run

Returning from a gruelling marathon in the Himalayas, extreme events enthusiast Shauney Watson sets out to conquer another hostile environment. How Not to Run: Welcome to the Jungle is an account of Shauney’s four-year journey to reach one of the toughest ultra marathons on Earth, in the heart of the Amazon jungle. Follow her across every mile as she traverses the beautiful landscapes of Scotland, the breathtaking mountains of Vietnam and finally the sweaty depths of Peru’s rarely seen rainforest. It’s not just the miles that are demanding; with humidity and altitude becoming the enemy, and deadly animals and insects lurking at every turn, the end goal becomes survival. A down-to-earth, inspirational story set in the world of extreme endurance and filled with anecdotes and humour, this is an ‘everyday’ runner’s perspective on what it takes to become a multi-stage endurance athlete.
