RUN LONG. CLIMB HIGH. SWIM DEEP. GO FAR.
The struggle to succeed and the drive to excel are at the heart of what makes someone into an endurance athlete.
Their mindset—that of the adventurer, of the explorer, of the never-say-never—is what allows these athletes to go beyond the limits of what’s possible time and time again... both during and outside of events.
Real life comes with its own set of challenges to meet, endure and overcome. GO FAR collects exhilarating stories from the worldwide endurance sports career of athlete Jennifer Strong McConachie, giving insight into her life philosophy and the principles that empower her success in ultrarunning, mountaineering, swimming, and more.
The beginning of endurance, in sport and in life, is found in desire — not just to go, but to go far.
