Marathon Man is an uplifting story of an  extraordinary achievement - all the more gr5ipping given that the author was an inexperienced long distance runner and only 20 when embarking on his mission to run  35 marathons in 35 consecutive days. Alan Corcoran's response to the shock of his dads stroke, was to get active, create positive from negative and raise money for charity. 

Alan faced many obstacles along the road beyond the sheer physical endurance challenge of running 1,500 kilometres around Ireland. He candidly submerges the reader into his world with an endearingly light touch, showing how through sheer perseverance, you can achieve your objectives. Alans humour positivity and pure determination shine through this story. Whatever your challenge, the book will show you that you can succeed.
