Susie Chan has broken records and she has broken barriers. Her new memoir tells it all with an openness and honesty that comes from having endured some of the world’s most gruelling tests of endurance

A truly inspirational read from a brilliant and determined runner

Honest, authentic and real … a wonderful running story

Inspiring, funny, moving and incredible tales. Chan writes like she runs – totally natural, exuberant, joyful. She’s a force of nature and this is an intoxicating read

Beautifully written … I laughed, gulped and cried as I read her stories of battling through some of the hardest races on this planet as well as some of the hardest moments in her life … Trails and Tribulations will amaze and inspire everyone from non-runners to the best ultrarunners out there

What a story – told with Susie’s trademark courage and humour

Astonishing and hugely inspiring… this book has blown me away. Susie writes beautifully and so viscerally I felt like I was running alongside her, struggling in the jungle and floating down sand dunes. This book is brilliant for runners and non-runners alike to encourage us all to challenge ourselves and to push at our self-imposed limits.

Susie brings to life the joy of running – in deserts, jungles, or simply stepping out the door

An exhilarating read … Susie reminds us that it is never too late for any of us

Susie Chan’s page-turning (and often hilarious) tale offers a behind-the-scenes look into what it takes to complete the world’s toughest running events … underneath it all is a beautiful story of an athlete finding her strength and herself, one step at a time.

Susie is such a valued member of the running community… this book is just as interesting and honestly gripping for the non-running challenges she has faced as much as for the running. It truly is one of the best run-related reads of recent years.

Trails and Tribulations is not just a book about running; it’s a story of transformation, resilience, and the extraordinary power of pushing one’s limits (even when you have that niggling voice of self-doubt in your head). Susie Chan’s inspiring journey will resonate with runners and non-runners alike, offering a profound message about the enduring human spirit.

This book is unputdownable and Susie is unstoppable. A fabulous read that will make you want to push your running limits to the max and see what you can really do.
