'If you've ever wept, "Why Do I Want To Run?" your answer is
here.' Caitlin Moran
Six years later, she has run five marathons in two continents.
But, as her dad says, you run with your head as much as with your
legs. So, while this is a book about running, it's not just about
running.
You could say it's about ambition (yes, getting out of bed on a rainy
Sunday morning counts), relationships (including talking to the
intimidating staff in the trainer shop), as well as your body (your
boobs don't have to wobble when you run). But it's also about
realising that you can do more than you ever thought possible.
Here's what people are saying about Running Like A Girl - and what
it's inspired them to do!
'This book has changed my attitude, I loved it from page one and
found it totally relatable for the normal woman... A real inspiration'
- Clairol on Amazon, 5 stars
'I adored this book... this is a must read' - Emily on Amazon, 5 stars
'I was so happy to start reading this fabulous book and realise that
there was someone else out there who thought exactly as I did about
'not being a runner'' - J. Watson on Amazon, 5 stars
'It's not often I find a book that I can't put down and this is the first
for ages! ... this book echoes so many of my own limiting beliefs
constructed around this subject and it was a delight to hear how
Alex faced up to her own demons and finally freed her running
spirit. Even if you never want to be a runner this is a fun read and an
inspirational journey.' - Joy on Amazon, 5 stars
'I laughed out loud... for anyone wanting to get into running you will
be thinking of Alexandra when you are out there taking your first
few strides, and you will be grinning!' - J. Dunne on Amazon, 5
stars
'The best thing about it is how inspiring the journey it is, how much
it makes you want to get out there and run yourself. Such a fantastic
aid to the beginning of your running journey' - Emma on Amazon, 5
stars
'I have been fighting with my running demons for over 12 months
and had convinced myself that I couldn't run. This book has inspired
me to put my trainers on, join a club and enter three events' -
Chimaera on Amazon, 5 stars
