Failure is an Option by Matt Whyman

Failure is an Option by Matt Whyman

Failure is an Optionis the story of an average runner who sets out to discover just how far he can go. Matt Whyman leaves behind the Saturday morning 5K to push towards 100-mile ultramarathons and beyond. The results are entertaining from start to finish, often very funny and at times deeply moving.

‘What an absolute JOY! – perfectly captures the folly and ambition of this silly and wonderful sport’

– Vassos Alexander, sports presenter, ultrarunner and author

‘A funny and inspirational read. From parkrunner to ultramarathoner, Matt shows what it means to keep trying – both in running and in life.’

– Elise Downing, ultrarunner and author of Coasting

‘Poignant, relatable and told with refreshing honesty.’

– Damian Hall, elite ultrarunner, coach and author of In It for the Long Run

'Make no mistake, this book is not about failure! It’s an account of how the love of running can keep you wanting more no matter where, or how, you end up in the field! The patience and support of a good partner also helps. Eloquently written with humour. Loved it!'

– Shane Benzie, coach, author and founder of Running Reborn
