Running wild - Vom Partykönig zum Extremläufer

As a DJ and concert promoter, Rafael Fuchsgruber led a wild and extremely unhealthy life - until one day he was hospitalized with a suspected heart attack. After that, he turned his life around. Alcohol and cigarettes are thrown out, and he starts running again in his early forties. He ran just three kilometers in his first attempt. Today he is the most successful German extreme runner in the deserts of this world.

Running wild is a biographical account of Fuchsgruber's life and his love of running. The exceptional athlete takes the reader along on his adventure runs in the deserts around the globe, gives his opinion on training or equipment questions, and provides insights into his work at concerts with great artists. Fuchsgruber takes an honest and unvarnished look back at wild and sometimes frightening times in his varied life.

Journalist Ralf Kerkeling has accompanied Rafael Fuchsgruber and his running career for several years for various running magazines. Together, the two describe his path from rock 'n' roll, alcohol and lots of parties to becoming an extreme runner.
