About the Book

Couple on the Run is a story for couples and individuals, for runners and non runners. A fascinating tale of determination, love, endurance and perseverance for people of all ages it combines success principles from business, fitness and relationships to create desired futures through the power of partnership. Couple on the Run captures the journey of a successful work obsessed CEO who was also an unfit couch potato struck down with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Andrew) and a lifelong fitness devotee and competitive athlete (Sue) as they combine their talents to go further together. Running 8 marathons in 8 countries in 8 weeks they put themselves to the ultimate test and encourage others to dare to make their dreams a reality too. "Couple on the Run is a valuable contribution to fitness, friendship and relationship-building that enables the reader to move from inspiration to action and will enhance the lives of people around the world". Jeff Galloway, US Olympian, Best Selling Author and Running Expert "No-one should underestimate the enormity of the feat of this suburban, middle aged couple. If this is what partnering and Partnerunning is all about, then I say, 'Bring it On'" Ron Clarke, World Record Holder and Running Legend "Together they have run close to 60,000 km's training and entering events across the globe. For Andrew and Sue O'Brien marriage and marathons go hand in hand". National Nine News (Australia) Foreword is by Running Legend Ron Clarke MBE. Afterword is by Best Selling Author and US Olympian Jeff Galloway. About Couple on the Run Andrew and Sue O'Brien have become known around the world as the Couple on the Run and in 2010 went back to where it all began to complete their 50th marathon together in Chicago. They both practice what they preach in that they train regularly together and travel the world competing in marathons together. By no means do they claim to be super athletes and in fact come from very different backgrounds to prove that the principles behind Partnerunning are to the benefit of all walks of life, in all parts of their life, and not just for the athletically inclined. Practicing what they preach, in 2008 the pair accomplished eight marathons, in eight weeks, across eight different countries and this is where their insights truly came to realization.
About the Author: Sue O'Brien Sue is a sought-after speaker and workshop presenter, and is recognized as a leading fitness expert who is a living example of what is possible when you put your expertise into practice. She loves her profession and has worked in the fitness industry for more than 25 years, regularly teaching 15 to 20 indoor cycle, aerobics and core strength classes each week while working with individual clients and developing Partnerunning. Sue is a mother of two who many years ago started running with her father, former Essendon great Jack Clarke, and brother Ian. Before taking up marathon running Sue was a regular winner of state and national age group triathlons and twice represented Australia at the world triathlon championships. Sue has a Bachelor of Education and is a regular contributor to her own learning as well as to the learning of others. Andrew O'Brien Andrew took up running in his 30s in order to improve his health and fitness after living an unhealthy lifestyle during his 20s. It was during this effort to regain his health that Andrew met Sue and before too long decided to run a marathon as a goal for recovering from illness. In 2004 Andrew was the Customer Service Institute of Australia's Victorian CEO of the Year and has worked in industries including retail, food service, sport and fitness, facility management and higher education. Andrew works with executive leaders to engage teams, staff and customers in effective strategy, successful partnerships and desired results. Andrew is the author of the Desired Futures series and shares the stage with Sue as well as speaking alone on his areas of expertise which include vision, strategy, performance and thought leadership. Andrew's doctorate, focusing on organizational performance through shared vision and collaboration, is from Swinburne University of Technology where he also completed a Master of Business Administration. Andrew also has a Master of Management degree from Monash University and a Master of Financial Planning from the University of the Sunshine Coast. He combines more than 20 years' CEO work with the latest management and partnering thinking to act as an executive adviser and Thought Leaders Mentor.
