Running has been Iwan Thomas's life. He put everything into becoming and remaining an elite athlete - so much so that it took a brutal toll. In his first book, Thomas reveals not only the highs, but also the hard graft and his battles with the dark side of running - the loneliness, the doubts, the hurt and, ultimately, the serious mental health issues. A deeply reflective, compelling and sensationally open book, 'Brutal' reveals the truth about a sportsman's life.
