Taking on Everest: My Journey to the Highest Marathon in the World
One week from today I will be sitting on a plane on the way to tackle the most unbelievable challenge of my life so far: taking on the highest marathon in the world. And, if the marathon itself wasn’t enough, I will climb to the summit of Everest, not once, but twice, in the days before the run in order to acclimatise to the lack of oxygen. Only after these two climbs will I be able to begin the marathon from Everest base camp.
