Bloomsbury presents Trails and Tribulations written and read by Susie Chan.

‘I laughed, gulped and cried as I read Susie’s stories of battling through some of the hardest races on this planet as well as some of the hardest moments in her life’ Sophie Raworth

'Tells it all with an openness and honesty that comes from having endured some of the world's most gruelling tests of endurance' Dean Karnazes, ultramarathoner and New York Times bestselling author

'A truly inspirational read from a brilliant and determined runner' Iwan Thomas

AN EXHILARATING LISTENING FROM ONE OF THE UK'S LEADING ENDURANCE RUNNERS.

Susie Chan is an icon of endurance running. Since taking up running at the age of 35, she has completed the legendary Marathon des Sables more times than any other British woman, set the 12-hour treadmill World Record and was one of the first women to finish all the World Marathon Majors.

Susie’s story is an inspirational fight against the odds. From leaving a dysfunctional marriage, managing as a single mum and tackling cancer treatment, Susie has had her fair share of adversity. Throughout it all, running has kept her going. She always finds a reason to lace up her shoes and hit the road – or the track, trail or tread. Her mantra: You never regret a run.

From the Moroccan desert, the Peruvian jungle and the sweltering Death Valley, to Susie’s local South Downs and a running track in Tooting, her adventures take her across the globe. With Susie’s down-to-earth personality, refreshing attitude and wicked sense of humour, we learn the countless reasons she finds to push herself further and the life-changing opportunities running has given her.

Her passion for the sport is infectious, and her story is a shining example to all in the running community and beyond.

I loved Susie before, I adore her now.

I’ve always found her to be my favorite peloton instructor … and now I know why. She doesn’t share as much personal information in her classes, but her story and experiences are exceptional. Enjoyed and learned throughout.

So motivating!

Even if you never run more than a 10k (like me), Susie’s book makes you want to push yourself just a little harder. Highly recommend.

Amazing woman, incredible adventures.

Loved listening to this book on Susie’s voice. A great example of how the human body and mind can thrive in all sorts of environments.

Loved it!

I love Suzy Chan and this book does not disappoint! Nothing short of fun, knowledge and heart! I recommend for those in ultra running or the seasoned ultra athlete. Great!

The story was captivating

Kept me entertained the entire time. Wonderful stories of what humans can accomplish if they set their minds to something.

Excellent and relatable.

Susie is an amazing athlete, yet she writes in such a way that is so relatable. It makes you feel as though you could lace up your shoes and do amazing things all your own. It makes her so inspirational. Truly an excellent book. Funny, insightful, occasionally heart breaking, but always entertaining. This book is a must for anyone who feels there’s something inside themselves that needs only a spark to be fully realized. This book will be that spark for many a reader.

Susie is a gem

The audible was incredible. I listened to it on long runs and it felt like a friend was there telling me a story.

Unexpectedly Good

This book is well written, inspirational, and so funny. I don’t know who Susie Chan is but I love her! This was a random recommendation from audible and I thought why not? I’m halfway through and a little reluctant to finish since then it will be over.

What a wonderful woman!

Susie Chan has such an engaging voice. I want to be her running buddy after listening to this. She really helps you understand how much attitude is vital to endurance events!

Listened through 2x

There were a couple of chapters where I just thought to myself ‘how, what, wow’ and I had to listen to it again to hear what was going through her mind and body.
