Über diesen Titel

Susan and Carlos were unlikely friends. She was a young, overweight college professor and a bit of a trainwreck - juggling a divorce, a pack-a-day habit, and hiding empty boxes of wine under her bed. He was her boss, an Ironman triathlete, with life figured out. She was a whiner, he was a hard-ass. He had his shit together, she most assuredly did not.

Trash-talking workouts, breakdowns, a devastating diagnosis - this heartwarming story of training buddies reveals a deep and abiding friendship that traversed life, sport, and everything in between. Their journey reveals the inspiring power of sports and friendship to change lives forever.

Amusing and poignant, Life's Too Short to Go So F--king Slow is about running and triathlon, growth and heartbreak, and an epic friendship that went the distance.

I liked this story from the beginning till the end. And I liked the speaker, too. I could not stop listening to this audio book and was a bit sad when it was finished. As I have done one Ironman myself I could totally feel with the author. I would definitely buy this audio book again.

Great Story

At first the story was very inspirational to try a triathlon myself and then more and more about a great friendship that everyone would like to have.

Great story about a great friendship

I recommend this audio book. The story was not quite as expected but definitely worth a listen. It’s inspiring and wholesome

Good and thought-provoking story

Fantastic audiobook with an inspiring message and heart-warming friendship at its core delivered with humour and honesty.

Would have loved to give this 5 stars, but the ableism (clearly not everyone can do an ironman), stereotyping and display of environmental pollution had me shocked. Throwing a bicycle into a forest and finding it amusing (in a country that is not your own no less) is ignorant and disappointing behaviour that should not be advertised in a book.

Inspiring message & heartwarming friendship

What an amazing story - and friendship! I laughed and cried and will never forget.

one word: amazing!

First half is quite good and entertaining especially if you’ve gone through an Ironman preparation yourself. Once the story takes a twist (I won’t reveal too much) this changes. I understand the author had a very strong relationship to the other person in the book but with all due respect, this was just too much of praising of a person that means a lot to the author. It starts to be overly emotional and tear-provoking. Much more a speech about the decency of a person (which I don’t doubt) than a story for outsiders interested in triathlons. Not my thing.

Okay if you like very, very emotional stories
