Edgar Hill is 35 and caught in his own headlock. Overweight slob, underperforming husband, and reluctant father - for Ed, the world may as well have already ended. So when it does end in a catastrophic asteroid strike and Edgar and his family find refuge in an Edinburgh army barracks, it comes as something of a relief.

But nothing's ever that simple. Returning from a salvage run in the city, Edgar finds his family gone, taken to the south coast for evacuation by an international task force. Suddenly he finds himself facing a grueling journey on foot across a devastated United Kingdom. Edgar must race against time and overcome his own shortcomings, not to mention hundred-mile canyons and a heavily flooded west coast, to find the people he loves before he loses them forever.

This is a vivid, gripping story of hope, long-distance running, and how we break the limits of our own endurance.

Great story, great performance, but the audio levels varied wildly. Listening in my car (with windows up), I was often straining to hear, then getting my ears blasted when levels changed again.

Production could be better

I enjoyed the story. There was a lot of action and it was full of interesting characters. As I read more, I grew to enjoy the story.

It's never the end.

The story and narration provided an interesting adventure. However, the audio fades and gets louder throughout this book. It’s as if the narrator keeps running ahead of you and you catch up only to fall behind again and struggle to catch what he is saying.

Bad sound editing

Turns the post apocalypse into a deep spiritual journey, not what I expected but I loved it. Spot on performance!

So much deeper than expected!

It took me a little while to get into it and like the main character but that is part of the point. It ended up being a really good story about personal growth, love and so much more. I wanted more in the end but don’t want to give anything away by saying more.

Good story

An excellent book in every way. Great narration and pacing for a story that veers away from the tried (trite) and true SHTF format. The story is unpredictable, gritty, but also poetic and haunting in places. Recommending to all of my apocalypse genre reading friends.

Beautifully crafted and well performed!

Jot Davies' performance is outstanding. The emotion his narration invokes is beyond anything I've heard on Audible to date. Loved it

Amazing narration

Well written, with depth and dimension, great characters, outstanding narration. Any book about the end of the world is going to involve intense struggle, life and death, but The Running Club is unique and compelling , more about one man's journey from neglect and bordom to revelation that life, beauty, value and meaning emerge from within, under pressure.

Very Well Done
