He lived in a tent in the wilderness, braving the harsh Swedish winters – for four years. This is his story. An international bestseller, this extraordinary book is a powerful exploration of running, resilience, loss, and self-discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA talented long-distance runner in his teens, Markus Torgeby excelled in training, but often failed inexplicably in competition. Pressured by his coach and consumed by the suffering of his MS-afflicted mother, he chose to do something that most of us only dream of: escape the modern world. In his stripped-back lifestyle in the woods, surviving with the bare minimum of supplies and enduring extreme cold, he found salvation and ultimately his true direction in life.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42994392825936,"sku":"9781472974204B","price":8.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-runner-9781472974204b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
