About this listen

There Is No Wall is ultrarunner Allie Bailey's brutally honest and sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns which almost cost her her life.

Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn't a story about how running saved her–she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better.

There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won't save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I don't know what I was expecting when I picked up this book, but I knew that whatever it was, it'd be raw, honest, funny and, quite simply, Allie.

Allies unflinchingly honest always, and it's not because she's mean, it's because the truth is that we all need. She uses her experience and puts herself out there in the hopes it'll help someone. And it does. It already has. I cried and laughed through this one, and most importantly I heard what I needed to hear that re-affirmed to me the things I've been learning about myself recently.

That it's okay to ask for help, it's okay to need to make adjustments and that we never stop moving forward.

Running won't save you, but it's a wonderful tool. Replace running with any 'positive' hobby you use to outrun life, and this still applies. It's not a self-help book, but it's one that gets you thinking about how to help yourself.

And if none of that grabs you? It's still a brilliant read. I haven't stopped recommending it since I started it, I won't stop either.

It's simply Allie, having a fank and honest chat and it's epic.

Absolutely love that Allie read this book in her own voice. I have a hard copy too but the audio gives so much grit!!

She doesn't fluff around with with her discriptions which I found very refreshing and her humour is weaved throughout the book. I found myself laughing out loud the whole way through.

5 Very well earned stars from me

This is the most honest book I’ve listened too and Allie’s performance really does her words justice. I’m off to start work on my knowing/doing gap.
