"Runners High" Dr Andrew Murray
Andrew
is one of Scotland's leading Sports Medicine Doctors, but is perhaps
best known as an endurance runner. Having previously ran 2660 miles from
John O'Groats to the Sahara desert, 7 Ultra marathons on the 7
continents in under a week, and won races in places as diverse as the
North Pole and Outer Mongolia, in 2013, Andrew went back to East Africa-
the land of his childhood to not only cross it (which included jogs up
Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya and through wildlife reserves) but what makes
the Kenyans so fast. 66 of the world's best marathon runners come from
one village, Iten, that has a population similar to Muir of Ord. Murray
shares lessons taken from speaking with Olympic and World Champions,
World Record Holders, and leading coaches sharing dramatic videos, and
images of this adventure, whilst sharing secrets that can help get
runners faster, and stay injury free.  |
