'I had a big cry—then I kept going'
Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, the mountains have always been home for Jenny Tough. Travelling the world, she's always discovered commonalities with mountains—and mountain people. Her major project is to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent where indigenous mountain people live isolated from the outside, urban world. Running solo and unsupported comes with obvious logistical as well as physical challenges, but running is also a common language—all people around the world do it—and it has always helped build connections across barriers of language and nationality.
Solo is the account of one woman's mission to run solo and unsupported across mountain ranges on six continents—overcoming obstacles, conquering fears and finding the joy in achieving her goals absolutely alone.

I can save you the time and money. Jenny runs across a mountain range on each continent. And that’s it. Yes, there is peril, injury, feelings and questions she asks of herself. But her disconnect with her body, her spirit, her vulnerability and the culture of others is never reckoned with. It just made me feel empty. None of those questions and feelings are reflected on for longer than a sentence. I wish I could post a better review.
