Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Al Howies monomaniacal pursuit of distance made him a legend. His demons made him human.In the mid-1970s, Al Howie began showing up at the worlds longest footraces, sporting a wild mane of blond hair, a mangy beard, and white singlet that read Hells Gate. While most of the runners stretched and warmed up, Howie downed beer. When the gun sounded, he went out too hard, too fastbut won anyway. No one was surprisedHowie had run hundreds of miles just to get there. Perpetually broke, Al Howie was part of a countercultural scene of hippie-vagabonds who stumbled into the golden age of multi-day racing. These dirtbag athletes ran hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles. But no one covered more ground than Howie. In 1991, he ran 4,474 miles across Canada in world-record time72 days, 10 hours. Two weeks later, he entered a 1,300-mile race in Queens and broke the world recordhis own. Years later, Jared Beasley sets out to find this legendary runner. In Search of Al Howie takes readers on a surprising journey, uncovering bizarre aliases, fake IDs, and a multi-national kidnapping. Honest and raw, Howie's journey unfurls like an epic mystery of a tortured soul running for his life.
