Charlie Spedding - The Autobigraphy 'From Last to First'

Description
At last, the Autobiography of a North-east sporting icon, Charlie Spedding. Just published, this is a must for all running afficianados and an excellent idea for a Christmas Stocking-filler at only £8.99! Charlie Spedding is the English record holder for the marathon (1985), a winner of the London Marathon (1984), and the last British athlete, male or female, to win a medal in the Olympic Marathon (1984). When Charlie first went to school he was almost bottom of the class, and he was even worse at sport. He and his teachers shared a very low opinion of his abilities, but then he found something he was good at. As he devoted himself to it, he gradually became world class. He literally went from last to first. This book is about running, because it was running that Charlie was good at, but the story he tells has a message for everyone: find what you are good at, and then become the best you can- at whatever it is.
