Hello!
i have just started reading ‘How Triathlon Ruined My Life’, by our coach Darren Roberts, and im also reading ‘Feet in the clouds’ by Richard Askwith, a fell runner. These both got me to thinking, seeing how great and motivational they are, reading and learning about different sports seems to be a good idea, so i wondered if anyone has any recommendations of books they have read??
Ever gratefull….Rach.

Hi Rach,
Take a look at ‘Learning to Breathe’ by Andy Cave. An inspirational story of how a coal miner from Yorkshire became one of the greatest climbers in the world. Certainly teaches you mental toughness and to never give up.
Take care - looking forward to seeing you back in DH next year.
Hi Rach
I’ve got a question for you
Dan is even writing a book? Certainly, i will buy a book of one of you 3…
Get Well Soon Rachel, to hit the world cup next year ;D
The white spider by heinrich harrer.
Alpine climbing 90 years ago when death really wasnt a big deal.
tho i havent read it yet, running the race - eric liddell by john w. keddie. think it would be interesting reading about a totally different viewpoint.

every second counts by Lance Armstrong is a really good book and really well written!
Still cycling, but Graeme Obrees ‘The Flying Scotsman’ is very good, definitel recomend it, :), also, is dan writing a book?
‘Mad, Bad & Dangerous to know’ Sir Ranulph Fiennes autobiography. Truly inspirational and shows how tough people can really be :o)
Hello,
Geoff Thomson has a few good books in his arsenal. Two of which i HIGHLY reccomend:
Fear - the friend of exceptional people
The elephant and the twig - The art of positive thinking.
Both are easy to read and well put forward, both are truly excellent purchases. Happy to lend them to you but i want them back when your done!
Let me know if you want them or if you read them
Paul
