What If? Is the story of author Ash Varley’s running journey between 2016 and 2023. At 43, with years of running experience behind him, he wondered if dedication, patience, and a willingness to break free from the comfort zone could lead to the realisation of long-held running dreams. In this book he explores how he ended up running multiple sub-3 hours marathons and 100-mile trail races. Along the way he talks about surprising himself with his ability when he’s able to get out of his own way, how he is inspired mid-race by random strangers, and the importance of of being surrounded by people who believe in you.

Since he started running several years ago, Ash has run many road and trail races varying from 10k road races to 100 milers through woods, up steep mountain trails, and sometimes across country borders. What If? Is Ash’s first book
