Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Runner: He Korero Poto Mō te Rere Roa, nā Lizzy Hawker. (Aurum Press £12.99) I te tatari āwangawanga ki te rārangi tīmatanga o tana whakataetae 155 km tuatahi huri noa i Mont Blanc, ka titiro a Lizzy Hawker 29-tau-tau ki raro ki ōna kākahu roa, ki ōna hu rākau, ki te peke kōpeke kāore i tika i tangohia e ia, kātahi ki te kete Lycra o ōna hoa whakataetae. I uru atu ia ki te 2005 Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) i runga i te hiahia <unk> engari inaianei, ko te pono o te wero kei mua i te timatanga. Ka rite tonu te tawhiti e haere ai ia ki te tawhiti i waenganui i tōna wāhi whānau i ngā rohe o Rānana me Southampton, i reira ia e ako ana mō tētahi tohu PhD i roto i te pūtaiao taiao. A, ko tōna tinana māmā, 5 ft 4 i roto i te tinana, me mau tonu ki te hiki i aua hu taumaha i roto i te 8,500m o te piki me te heke <unk> ōrite ki te piki mai i te taumata moana ki te tihi o Everest me te hoki mai.

Engari ko ngā kōrero whakaaweawe a Hawker e kore e arotahi ki ngā whika. He nui ake tana hiahia ki te take i taea ai e ia te akiaki i a ia ki tua atu i nga rohe noa, me te pehea o te rere i a ia. He kaha tana pukapuka i runga i te rapunga whakaaro Buddhist me te rangimarie e haere mai ana me te noho tonu i tenei wa. I whakatipuhia i Upminster, East London, e kii ana a Hawker i nga wa katoa he hononga hohonu ki te taiao.
