Turning Right -- Inspire the Magic
How to transform who you think you are to reach your highest aspirations
by Kay Bretz
Description
A compelling, award-winning account of marathon runner Kay Bretz’s transformation into one of the best ultra-runners in the world, for fans of David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me.
Ultra-runner Kay Bretz beat the race record of Australia’s Big Red Run by more than five hours and was awarded the Australian Ultra Performance of the Year Award at the 24-hour world championships in France – but it took a significant change in mindset to do it.
In Turning Right, the elite athlete and executive coach shares his fascinating personal journey to success, interweaving his amazing running journey with how he overcame physical, mental and professional challenges to achieve his goals and break records, all by ‘turning right’ when his perspective on what he was capable of started to shift.
Bretz explains how he left behind self-imposed limitations that prevented him from reaching his dreams, often rejecting what was reasonable and logical, and found the magic instead.
Brilliantly interweaving his amazing running journey with the challenges in his professional and personal life, Bretz leaves behind the reasonable and logical to find the magic. His book will inspire the magic in you too.

Author Biography
KAY BRETZ improved the race record of Big Red Run, a 250-kilometre, multi-stage, running event in the Australian outback, by more than five hours. He followed up this amazing achievement with a series of podium finishes in events up to 350 kilometres. After a third place at the Australian ultra-trail championships in 2018, Kay was selected for the 24-hour world championships in Albi, France, in 2019, where he was awarded the Australian Ultra Performance of the Year Award.
Even before his amazing success as an ultra-runner, Kay Bretz was a high achiever. He was awarded a doctorate in European law in record time and travelled the world as a top management consultant for McKinsey. He excelled in each role he took on.
But it was through his crazy running adventures that Kay Bretz embarked on the compelling journey recounted in Turning Right that finally brought him real success. Over this journey, the author learns how to leave behind the limitations he placed on himself which prevented him from reaching his dreams. His entire perspective on what he was capable of shifted when he transformed from a recreational marathon runner into one of the best ultra-marathon athletes in the world.
