26.2 miles to happiness : a comedian's tale of running, red wine and redemption / Paul Tonkinson.

Tonkinson, Paul, author

London : Bloomsbury Sport, 2020.

xxvi, 229 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 24 cm

The hilarious trials and tribulations of stand-up comedian Paul Tonkinson as he attempts to beat the much lauded three-hour mark at the London Marathon. With a supporting cast of fellow comedians, this is a warmly written and wonderfully honest adventure-through-sport that will both entertain and inspire. Along the way, we are introduced to the characters helping Paul with his quest. Celebrity names such as Bryony Gordon, Russell Howard, Roisin Conaty and Vassos Alexander pop up with wit and wisdom, alongside an alpine adventure to the Mayr Clinic with Michael McIntyre that pushes Paul to the limit. And not forgetting the 'words of wisdom' and derision from Paul's anti-running friend, Richard.
