Running and Jumping

Two rivals. One winner.

Fresh off his fourth-place finish in his first Olympic final, British long jumper Adam Lowe finds himself standing face-to-face with the man who beat him to a medal. Little does he know, this chance encounter will spark a rivalry that, for Lowe, will become all-consuming.

Through epic victories and crushing defeats, Lowe pushes himself to the brink, testing his mental, physical, professional, and personal limits.

But when this fierce competition spirals out of control, Lowe must confront the question: What happens when you give it your all and still come up short?

A powerful tale of competition, obsession, and the limits of endurance, "Running and Jumping" is perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman's "Beartown"

Steven Kedie is a Manchester-born author best known for his novel "Suburb" and for co-founding the music website Eight Albums.
