Irish Runner Magazine - 'A must-read.'


Dean Karnazes, New York Times best-selling author and ultra-runner - 'An intimate and uplifting story of grit, tenacity and healing and one that is sure to stir the soul.'


MARATHON MAN is an uplifting story of an extraordinary achievement - all the more inspiring given that the author was an inexperienced long-distance runner and only 20 when embarking on his mission to run 35 marathons in 35 consecutive days. Alan Corcoran's response to the shock of his dad's stroke was to get active, create positive from negative and raise money for charity. Alan faced many obstacles in life and along the gruelling 1,500-kilometre road around Ireland's coast. He candidly submerges the reader into his world with a charming, light Irish touch, showing how you can achieve your objectives through sheer perseverance.

Corcoran, Alan: - "Alan Corcoran is a charity fundraising Irish adventure athlete. Competing as an Irish international track and field athlete as a juvenile, he switched to ultra-endurance at the age of twenty, when his dad, Milo, suffered a stroke. Alan has since fundraised 45,000 for stroke and cancer charities through his resilience challenges. He became the first to run a lap of Ireland - 35 marathons in 35 consecutive days - and the first to swim the length of Ireland - a 500-kilometre sea swim. Corcoran has written a multi-award-winning book ('Marathon Man') and directed a feature-length documentary film ('Unsinkable') about these two challenges."
