Emily Chappell worked as a cycle courier in London for many years, telling her story in What Goes Around. Since then she has explored the world on her bike and committed to supporting others to do the same, as a founder of The Adventure Syndicate.Her new book is Where There's A Will: Hope, Grief and Endurance in a Cycle Race Across a Continent.
At the Guardian, Chappell tagged the eight best tales of endurance, including:
In The Rise of the Ultra Runners, Adharanand Finn gives us an inside view of the mind-boggling world of long-distance running, and perfectly captures the ebb and flow of a long race; the moments when you feel you can’t take another step, chased by those fleeting periods when you believe you might run for ever. And Sarah Outen, in Dare to Do, tells us that “the most enduring muscle of all is attitude. If you want to get there, you will.”Read about another entry on the list.
