Couch to 50 miles: The story of a girl, a trail, and a relentless need to always run (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798867381226)

In 2016, Lauren had returned to Louisiana from Bangladesh with a half-full suitcase and less than $500 to her name. Alone, with her kids lost to her, and a need to get her life back together again, she scraped by, starved, stayed sick, walked a mile every day, and ate rotted carrot pie.

Only seven years later, she had a family of ten, ran her first marathon, did two 50-mile ultra runs, and completed two full IronMans.

Couch to 50 miles follows the journey of a girl who wanted to be found and wanted to be forgotten. A girl who was haunted by a relentless need to run. A girl who went from scarcity and survival and walking a mile a day, to learning the secrets of nutrition, training, recovery, and inner peace-and to running ultras and IronMans and putting endless miles under her feet on the Wild Azalea Trail.

A girl who found love. And hate. And healing. And then found herself again.
This truly inspiring story will lead you to the depths of your own dark places and give you one single relentless passion...
To always run.
