Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running the Sahara is more than my experience of participating in the Marathon des Sables 2017. Though much of the book is about my time in the desert, and I talk about my preparation and the equipment I used, the book is also profoundly personal. I tried my best to explore my passion for running and life. I hope the reader finds it entertaining and inspiring to follow me from meeting Herr Hammermann during my first marathon to my finish of the nearly 250-kilometer race in the Moroccan Sahara. It is a book about the gift of life, so there are some disappointments and moments of despair, but there are also triumphs and the sublime. I believe when dreams close, other dreams open, and that by setting goals and being disciplined, all of us can shift the balance and get to where we want to be. What started as a book about the Marathon des Sables turned into the story of my life.

Sample Book Insights: #1 On Christmas Eve 1971, Juliane Koepcke and her mother were flying from Lima to Pucallpa, Peru. The airport had been chaotic, and several flights had been canceled the day before. People were anxious to spend time with their families. #2 Juliane and her mother were on board a plane that was traveling from Peru to Germany. The plane entered what looked like very thick, heavy storm clouds. It began to churn as it entered the dense air in front of the clouds. People started complaining that they should turn back rather than risk going through the thick storm clouds. #3 When Juliane woke up, a day had passed. She knew she needed to make her way out of the jungle. She crawled around in circles, screaming for her mother, until the dizziness subsided. Then, slowly, she stood up. She could walk. #4 To remain alive, Juliane knew she had to make it out of the rain forest. She had to be aware of where she was stepping and the direction in which she was traveling. She had to mark the tree where she had landed with a distinctive pattern of leaves.
