Everything You Want Is on the Other Side of Hard

From the fastest marathoner in the world over fifty comes an extraordinary story of resilience, redemption and transformation.

‘A lesson in staying alive… Ken Rideout’s life story is extraordinary not just for what he’s achieved, but for how deeply it reflects the struggles we all face.’ – Andrew Huberman

Ken Rideout grew up just outside Boston in a family scarred by drugs and crime. At eighteen, he worked as a prison guard in the same prison where his stepfather had been incarcerated. He escaped his difficult beginnings to build a successful career on Wall Street, but behind that success was a decade-long opioid addiction.

Then Ken found running.

Through relentless determination, he transformed from a ‘running nobody’ into the world’s fastest marathoner over fifty, winning the Masters Marathon World Championships and conquering the gruelling Gobi March ultramarathon.

Ken rewrote his story. Now, he shows you how to start rewriting yours.

Everything you want is on the other side of hard.
