«Life on the Run: Coast to Coast» is Matt Beardshall's sports chronicle of a running journey across England, published by Swirl in paperback (120 pages, in English).
After a charity run in the Peak District, Matt, Vin and Mal decide to cross England from west to east: from St Bees Head, on the Cumbrian coast, to Robin Hood's Bay, in North Yorkshire. In May 2006 they cover 180 miles in seven days through the Lakeland fells, the limestone valleys and the North York Moors. Mal takes part on a mountain bike, the other two run on foot, and Andy and Justin support them in a support car. The mile-by-mile account shows how the weather, terrain and wildlife test an eighteen-month plan: the challenge equals seven consecutive mountain marathons, and the toughest rivals turn out to be themselves.
Originally published on 15 October 2007. Matt Beardshall delivers a detailed account, described by the author himself, of a crossing that links the Irish Sea with the North Sea.
For runners and fans of trail, long-distance running and walking routes across England.
