Publisher about the book
A marathon pushes every runner into their own story. It asks you how you develop. Only your body can carry you. Everything you've done in your life up until the moment you cross the finish line is connected to this endeavor.

Two hours to cover 42 kilometers and 195 meters. This is the Mount Everest of running, a feat once considered impossible. Today, people climb Mount Everest.

A sub-two-hour marathon will require an extraordinary combination of speed, mental toughness, and endurance. Whoever comes first will have to endure more, live bolder, plan better, and be luckier than those who came before them. Who is this man?

In this captivating book, Ed Caesar takes us inside the world of a select few among the world's best marathoners. He explores the history of the marathon through stories of their personalities and their difficult lives, while also presenting the scientific aspects, physiological and psychological factors that accompany a run that is so long and so fast.

The book Two Hours shows us why this race, the most democratic of all, retains its wildly exciting appeal – why it pushes us to test our own extreme limits.
