Just what I was looking for!

I am actually training for the 2010 Trans Germany race and to come across this book was perfect! I've read Dr. David Horton's book of running the Appalachain Trail and of his Trans American footrace and this was just as good!

What an idea. To go off and run like this. Maybe some day I will join in.

Intimate and Inspirational for Runners

Russell Secker's new book, Running Across Countries, is a personal account of his scaling the Everest of long-distance running -- footraces across countries and even continents. Mr Secker has completed the Trans-Gaul, across France, the Trans-Germany, across, well, you get it, and now the Trans-Europa, from the heel of Italy to the Arctic Circle. His well-written book is a superb account of the demons of feet, food, and fast that he met on his races and an encouraging advisory for runners who find that one more level beyond the marathon beckons. I enjoyed the clear and crisp narratives and the gentle transition from personal account to inspirational guidebook. Jack Woodville London
