‘FROM LAST TO FIRST’ – by CHARLIE SPEDDING
Charlie Spedding is the English record holder for the marathon, a winner of the London Marathon, and the last
British athlete to win an Olympic Marathon medal.
At school, Charlie eventually found something he was good at, and as he devoted himself to it, he gradually
improved. After years of dedication he eventually became world class. He literally went from last to first.
This book is about running, because it was running that Charlie was good at, but the story has a message for
everybody: find what you are good at, and then become the best you can – at whatever it is.
