Essential listening for every runner – it's time to find out, could you too be a Running W*nker? Alison Stankard is a Running W*nker. But it didn’t happen overnight. A few morning stumbles around the block in a bid to become pert-bottomed somehow turned into something else: 5ks, 10ks...

A tale of love, loss and laughter, this life-affirming memoir describes one woman's determination to survive unbearable grief and get back into running one step at a time. Lisa didn't think anything could be more devastating than the death of her beloved husband Graham. But then she lost her sister and father too all in the space of 17 months. Feeling utterly broken, Lisa turned to an old friend that had already helped her through many tough times: running. But before long a debilitating injury meant she lost her running mojo, too.

You become strong long before you start lifting weights or exercising out. It happens slowly over time. Before you do anything else, you need to make a decision. You know that you will take better care of your physique from now on. To start along this path, you need to understand that strength isn't only for bodybuilders, athletes, and those who seem strong.

It’s not too late. You’re not behind. You’re just beginning. Run Your Own Race is a powerful, real-life inspirational story of a woman who begins again in midlife—when responsibilities feel heavy, confidence feels fragile, and dreams are often placed quietly on hold. This is not a book about speed, competition, or fitness goals. Running is simply the doorway. The transformation is the destination.
