This is the biography of a sporting legend John Lenihan.
Tough as Leather has been written by award winning Kerry journalist and photographer Con Dennehy. The author traces the career of one of the toughest athletes that Ireland has ever produced. John Lenihan has run over 140,000 miles during his career. This is the equivalent of running around the world on six occasions.
His story from 1960 to 2015 is one of courage, inspiration and the ability to take on the challenges of life despite living in a rural part of Kerry.
