Product Description
Arriving at a little known university in West Wales young David Jones pursues the fruits of love. In his effort to woo he discovers a surprising ability to run extremely fast; simultaneously becoming a little respected regular patient at the local hospital.
In love and weighed down with talent he is put through a punishing training regime designed to convert his potential. Feeling unhappy and exploited he struggles and drops out.
Supported by his best friend, and despite going back on the beer, David’s times improve. He appears to be running fast on happiness, somehow. The pair set about creating a media circus around his outsized ability. The tabloid press and his new sponsors provide both the opportunity and the cash to embark on a series of races, parties and intensive care units.
Success, mystique and marketing make David the new idol of the UK provoking a nationwide increase in drinking, smoking and the eating of fast food. The resulting financial crisis causes the government to act in a way it finds almost unpalatable.
Strange new coach onboard and leaving a trail of deceit, greed and guilt David gives the final performances of his career at the UK’s biggest sporting event for years, the Olympic Games.
It can go either way and if you buy this version you will get to read the sad ending :-(
