Untethered

The Comeback Story of One of the Longest Fastest Runs in History

By: Dave Proctor

Narrated by: Justin Briscoe

If you want a fairy tale ending, listen to Snow White. If you want to know what it’s like to dream big, fail hard, get up again, and feel crushing defeat even as you finally taste victory—UNTETHERED is for you.

Four years after his 2018 Trans Canada run crashes and burns, four-time champion ultrarunner Dave Proctor returns with a fierce resolve to conquer 7000+ kilometres, a 30-year-old record and his own personal demons.

This raw yet frequently hilarious real-life adventure takes you on a wild rollercoaster of grit, willpower, sacrifice and suffering, punctuated by the steep mountain roads, terrifying near-misses, crushing fatigue, fraying relationships and fleeting joy that were his life for 67 days, 10 hours and 27 minutes—followed by a devastating aftermath.

HOT- (honest, open, transparent) ADVENTURE

This book had a lot of details that I was curious about. Dave does a great job and breaking down each day and sharing many things he and his crew did to get the job done.

I appreciated the different struggles he shared and how honest, open and transparent he was. I believe many people will relate and I did to the story.

I personally struggled with having to translate Kilometers into miles, but it was fun to figure out.

I will listen to this again and have recommended it to others.

Epic Running Adventure 👍🏼💪🏻🦵🏽💯🇨🇦

Great motivarions for me while out on some long runs. I especially loved the nod to the Tragically Hip when Dave crossed the Hundred meridian, where the great plains begin!

The consistency as a runner and story teller is unmatched!

As an ultra runner I am inspired and in awe of Dave’s consistancy and self awareness as a runner and a person! I have been following Dave since we Met at “6 days in the dome” this run and honesty in the book did not disappoint!
